Why did we start...
Jingyan Zhang
Co-founder (Executive)
Back to my Bachechlor study in China, I had the chance to feel and live with the tea culture. I enjoyed travelling and visiting local tea farms. After moved to Netherlands back to 2012 for my Master Food technology Study, drinking tea has been part of my daily practice.
In 2023, I was in China and got the chance to experience the high quality tea with friends. The warm tea with such an amazing aroma immediately comfort my mind. I got inspired by the experience. I though: if I could bring this beautiful moment back to Netherlands, share and help other people who is seeking their harmony moment, that would be great! Thanks to the one-year life in China in 2023, I met my great team who also have the passion for tea. We start this Leaf & Flora team together with the aim to bring authentic tea and harmony experience to Europe.
Ningxin Dai
Co-founder (Product)
I was born in Huangshan---a famous tea-producing area in China. There is a superior geographical environment that is very conducive to tea cultivation, sophisticated tea-making technology, and a strong tea-drinking atmosphere.
I developed the habit of drinking tea since I was a child. Due to my big passion for tea, I studied tea science for Bachelor. Then I went to Wageningen University in Netherlands for Master degree in Food technology and work for R&D. After I went back to China，I worked on tea beverage formulations for a well-known tea brand. Then, for some reasons, I changed my job to a different industry, but I couldn't put down my interest in tea. So I joined LEAF & FLORA!
