Dr Chau-Jean is our Tea Specialist for Teas of Taiwan. She owns Marulin Tea in London, inspired by the desire to share teas from her family farm in Taiwan.
After four generations of tea farming, Chau-Jean’s family are successful specialists in Taiwanese Oolong tea. They have developed relationships over many generations with other tea farmers. Her uncle is an artisanal tea maker and manages tea orchards in their village, and her aunt teaches tea ceremony in Kaohsiung and grew up on a tea farm in the high mountains of Alishan.
Marulin’s most recent development has been blending oolong teas in tea bags and creating new tea powders that – like matcha – can be whisked and used creatively .
