English: The logo is a Pu-erh Coin/Cake which is a traditional way to wrap and store tea leaves. Coins are often displayed on wooden stands in tea shops. The circular shape has no beginning or end and represents God’s love for us. The circle shape also represents the drawing together of people from every tribe, tongue and nation, as well as the completeness of Christ’s life and work.

The character in the centre means “Tea”. It is made of 3 radicals: (from top-to-bottom) leaves; person; and tree. The cross-shaped strokes emphasis the centrality of Jesus, who in the form of a person (rad. 2), willingly hung on a tree (rad. 3), so that we might blossom and have life (rad. 1).

In many cultures, tea brings people together. It is hoped that The Teahouse 茶 will inspire reconciliation and the creation of spaces where people are able to enter into constructive dialogue with one another in the presence of Christ.
