Jaq is an Australian who became a Chinese tea enthusiast after moving to Mount Wuyi, Fujian, in 2016. She was kindly taken under the wings of several lecturers of Wuyi University’s School of Tea Science for private tutorage. She has since travelled to different tea-producing provinces across China to learn more about Chinese tea culture. In 2018 she published a novella, called The Found One, about Mount Wuyi’s tea culture. She hopes to introduce many fellow Australians to the benefits of drinking fine teas through The Artisan Tea Hut.
