Our Story

Tea has a remarkable ability to silently change live. It brings comfort, joy and a sense of peace. "I would run a tearoom in my retirement just to enjoy the rest my of life with your mum”. Never did I know that this would be my last conversation with our father and that his final wish would become the driving force behind our journey.

In order to fulfill our father’s final wish, my sister and I embarked on a quest connect with tea farmers in various regions of China, where each type of tea originated. Even though having a strong tea background of where we are born, as we delved into the rich tea culture, learned about the intricate tea-making process, and experienced the profound impact of tea on people’s lives, we are inspired to share this magical healing power with others. And so, the80stea was born.

“Tea is wealth itself, because there is nothing that cannot be lost, no problem that will not disappear, no burden that will not float away, between the first sip and the last.”
