A Spring Picnic in the Tulips — A Matcha Dream by Tea stories

As the first warm days of spring arrived in the Netherlands, we packed our baskets, matcha tins, and favorite ceramics, and headed to the tulip fields — chasing beauty, simplicity, and a moment of stillness.

What began as a spontaneous idea turned into a visual fairytale: a lifestyle photoshoot among blooming tulips, celebrating rituals of slowing down, sharing drinks, and embracing nature’s magic.

We brought with us what we love most — ceremonial-grade matcha, creamy hojicha, and handmade ceramics that make everyday moments feel special. The soft afternoon light, delicate petals swaying in the wind, and the quiet joy of preparing drinks outdoors gave this shoot a dreamy, timeless feel.

For us, Tea stories is more than just tea. It’s a way of living. A reminder to create beauty in the small things, to honor presence, and to reconnect with what grounds us — be it a warm bowl of matcha or time spent in nature with people we love.

This photoshoot was our love letter to spring, to rituals, and to the quiet power of aesthetics.

We hope the images inspire you to romanticize your own daily rituals — whether that’s preparing tea in a sunlit corner of your home or organizing a slow Sunday picnic.

If you’re a brand that resonates with this lifestyle — rooted in calm, care, and creativity — we’d love to hear from you. We’re open to collaborations, whether it’s styling, storytelling, or seasonal campaigns. Let’s create something beautiful together.

With love,
The Tea stories Team 🌸
