Behind the Leaves: An Exclusive Chat with Jack, Founder of Hence Tea 🧘🏻♂️
We sat down with Jack, the visionary behind Hence Tea, to explore the heart of his mission. From authentic sourcing to mindful living, here are some insights he shared:
_Q1: How do you ensure the highest quality tea leaves?
First, we make sure our tea is from the authentic origin of each tea. Then, from the authentic origin, we make sure we find the best quality from many. High-quality loose-leaf tea is judged by the shape of the leaf, the smell of the dry leaf, the aroma when brewing, the taste of the tea soup, its color, and even how it holds up after multiple brews.”
Q2: Is Hence Tea’s packaging sustainable?
_”Yes! We use simple packaging to reduce waste and carbon emissions. Our brand is eco-friendly and committed to protecting the earth, which is why we choose packaging that’s as minimal as possible.”
Q3: Why did you start drinking tea, and what does tea mean to you?
_”In 2014, I visited family in China and watched tea transform a tense argument into a peaceful conversation. The scent and warmth of the tea stayed with me, and I realized its emotional and mental power. After returning to LA, I started sharing tea with friends and classmates—it brought people together, deepened our conversations, and inspired calmness. That’s when I decided to share this experience with more people. Tea is more than a drink; it’s a connection, a moment of peace, and a bridge between people.”
Q4: What personal health and wellness have you experienced since you started drinking tea?
_”Once I started to drink tea, I got into the lifestyle—a simple lifestyle. Tea is my life friend now. I take it with me everywhere. It helps me maintain a clear, serene mindset. I’ve also found that soda, sugary drinks, alcohol, coffee, and many other beverages taste less flavorful compared to an authentic tea brewed from simple tea leaves.”
At Hence Tea, it’s about more than tea—it’s about creating a mindful, flavorful lifestyle that connects people across cultures and traditions. 🫖 #HenceTea #ChineseTea #GongfuTea #ChaozhouTea #TeaAesthetics #ArtOfTea #TraditionalTea #TeaCulture #TeaLovers #LooseLeafTea
