MingCha aims to let novices and connoisseurs understand handcrafted tea of authentic origins in China with an open heart. The Chinese character 「明」 Ming composed of 「日」 Sun and 「月」 Moon has multiple meanings: Ming means to understand; Ming Dynasty (since 14th Century) was the period when tea became popular in every household; Ming means also to enlighten. We believe good tea could bring one closer to Mother Nature and the Universe. You also get to know yourself better through tea.
