Tea sommelier Wen

Wen is a London-based tea practitioner and tea culture presenter who shares Cha-Yi (茶藝), the Taiwanese art of tea, through hosted tastings, talks and cultural events. Driven by the belief that tea is far more than a beverage, Wen presents it as a meeting point of history, culture, aesthetics and science. Her background in art history shapes how she brings each tea to life, from where it is grown and how it is crafted to the care behind every pour. Her aim is to show Londoners what Taiwan offers beyond bubble tea. Every session is brewed and hosted by Wen herself, using traditional teaware and the Taiwanese dual-cup tasting set, with one cup for aroma and one for sipping. Guests learn to notice aroma, flavour and finish while discovering each tea’s origin and character, alongside thoughtfully chosen food pairings. Her loose-leaf teas are sourced directly from Taiwan, from Baozhong and Dong Ding to Oriental Beauty and Lishan High Mountain Oolong. Wen hosts intimate home gatherings, community and cultural events, workshops and corporate occasions. Sessions are relaxed, alcohol-free and welcoming to beginners and enthusiasts alike, with everything taken care of, from set-up to pack-down.
