With Jing Tea Shop, I am honored to commemorate and spotlight a culture that holds a crucial place in Chinese traditions and in my life.
Inspired by centuries of tea tradition, I brought the idea of sharing my passion for tea culture to life when I created the online site www.jingteashop.com in 2004.
Growing up with a father who was a puerh tea collector, an artist, and the author of several cooking books, I found my calling at an early age. Having spent my formative years amidst workshops and tea houses, it was only natural for me to dedicate my life to sharing my love for Chinese teas and Chinese culture with the rest of the world.
Over the years, my network has expanded, encompassing tea farmers, tea makers, collectors, Yixing teapot craft masters, and various artists. I personally know the makers of every tea we carry, as provenance and traceability are as important to me as respecting traditions.
My sincere gratitude extends to all those who have guided, supported, and remain present in Jing Tea Shop's journey. Collectively, we bring forth around 300 years of shared tea knowledge, weaving a richer cultural tapestry with each moment we share.
