About me
As a certified tea sommelier, industrial design researcher, and potter, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to the world of Taiwanese tea—blending sensory expertise, aesthetic design, and cultural storytelling.
I specialize in helping individuals, brands, and creative teams discover and share authentic Taiwanese tea through thoughtfully designed experiences and curated sourcing support.
☁️ I come from a family rooted in tea and herbs in Taiwan.
Since childhood, I’ve known how to recognize the fragrance and lingering notes of tea, and I understand how different climates shape the character of each leaf.
🧠 So I chose to become someone who tells the story of tea—
As Product design ph.D., I shape clay, firing teapots and cups, studying flow, wall thickness, the feeling in the hand, and finding the best tea taste.
I design teaware and write narratives of tea.
I converse with farmers, resonate with craftsmanship, and share with those who drink.
🫖 Tea is the gentlest ad powerful force
Drinking tea alone can be quiet and calming—like a soft kind of self-repair.
But drinking tea with others can solve many things.
Language softens, the atmosphere opens, and within the space between sips, dialogue slows down, allowing values to be heard once again.
