Our Story

How We Started

I started running my tea house from 2007. I was thinking it must be an easy job for Chinese people running the Chinese tea business, obviously, I was totally wrong.
I had basic class of Chinese tea before I run the tea business, so I had a clear concept about Chinese tea, but many of the knowledge were still stay on the paper. Even though, I still had just about enough knowledge to have half page of interview from “good living” at SMH which published on 25th, March, 2008. After that interview, I started to know the difference using on Camelia sinensis , cultivar and tea tree.
The interview at SMH did bring more people visit my teahouse, and I started to have more variety of teas including white tea which becoming more popular in western world by its wonderful marketing on its antioxidant property. As I said, many of my tea knowledge still stay on paper, I bought few different fake white teas in 2008. Until one day, a tea lover (MS De) came to my teahouse. After brewing my fake white tea, she said it must be green tea but not white tea. Then I realized that I have to visit the tea farm and tea factory in the future but not just buying teas from distributor in Guangzhou.
Since then, I started to choose my teas more carefully and taste them more carefully than before, and started to contact the farmers, tea makers and tea factories. From 2011, I started my tea trip every year to visit tea farmers and tea makers to learn the real knowledge about the tea.
After sharing my tea experience to my customers for 15 years, many of them regard me as a tea consultant rather than a tea seller.
From 2022, MY Teahouse is re-branding to a new looking, not just renovate the shop, but change the package as well. MY Teahouse start to have carry pack which just has 2 portions in box so tea lovers can try more different teas.
