The story / Tim

The character’s story

In our story, Tim appeared in the warm steam above the first cup offered to a newcomer in a Fangcun tea shop. He brings everyone around the same table: he asks one good question, brews Fenghuang Dancong and introduces people. On the road, he listens to producers and brings home samples and their stories. He never pretends to know everything; when a tea surprises him, he says so first. In Teamotea’s fictional world, he is a warm companion from the tea’s place of origin to a shared cup.
