A Board Game Soundtrack Inspired by the Art of Tea
Amid the misty mountains of ancient Yunnan, where jade hills cradle quiet rivers, a new challenge blooms — to cultivate the most beautiful and bountiful tea gardens in the empire. Tea Garden is more than a game of strategy — it is an invitation into a peaceful world of tradition, harmony, and the subtle power of growth.
This original soundtrack was crafted to mirror that experience: serene yet full of purpose, ambient yet rich in character. Each track guides you through a different phase of the game, from the quiet of morning harvests to the grandeur of the emperor’s tea ceremony.
🎴 About the Game
Tea Garden is a competitive yet elegant board game in which players take on the role of tea garden masters tasked with cultivating new plantations along the riverbanks of imperial China. Through card-based actions and careful planning, you build gardens, collect and ferment tea leaves, trade with caravans, and gain favor in the emperor’s court.
Its layered yet accessible mechanics are paired with breathtaking visuals — painterly landscapes, flowing silks, and blooming orchards evoke a sense of tranquility rarely found in modern board games.
