About Lau
Vietnamese tea farmer Lau comes from a family of tea farmers, most of whom live and work in Fujian, China, where they first learned their techniques. Lau lives in the mountains for easy access to ancient tea trees and ginseng. Similar to our team at PARU, he is passionate about resourcefulness and experimentation, which often results in new ways to enjoy traditional teas.
