"A garden that comes into being through one’s own labor and tending efforts is very different from the fantastical gardens where things preexist spontaneously, offering themselves gratuitously for enjoyment. " — Robert Pogue Harrison
Qilin’s Garden is a nounish DAO dedicated to cultivating a web3-coordinated tea collective. Through onchain media, we aim to establish ourselves as an educator and purveyor of premium Pu-erh tea, renown for: 1) the ancient tea forests where the tea leaves are picked from; 2) the fermentation process leading to a rich, yet mellow taste; and 3) it’s salubrious effects on physical and spiritual wellness.
Ultimately, we envision a network of experiential tea houses and gardens as public goods to savor these teas. These gardens will serve as sanctuaries where nature and technology harmoniously integrate, celebrating our enduring connection to nature and the Earth. Here we can marvel and admire humankind’s ingenuity and our technological journey that will span the cosmos, all while partaking in the timeless ritual of enjoying a well-made cup of tea.
