The Mysteries of
CHAQI
ordinary made extraordinary
Brew the leaves, drink the tea, and you will arrive where you are meant to be.
The journey begins

Books

Mathieu Amis lives in Paris. He is receiving letters. They arrive from anywhere in the world and are signed Your friend, The Writer. A few months ago, a Castaway showed up at the door, with a wooden box of handmade teas from all over the world. And that’s how Mathieu goes … he drinks the tea from the destination of his next mystery and restores order from chaos. And each time he goes, he hopes to meet the man writing to him.
