My name is Franco Li, and I am the founder of Chin-Tea Studio, a brand dedicated to sharing the art and tradition of premium Pu’er tea.

Born in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan—the heartland of Pu’er tea.

Under my grandfather’s guidance, I learned the intricacies of tea cultivation.

By the age of 15, I had begun mastering the production process, deepening both my expertise and passion for Pu’er.

In 2013, I relocated to Toronto, Canada, bringing with me the heritage of Yunnan’s tea traditions.

I established Chin-Tea in 2020 to connect enthusiasts with the depth and nuance of Chinese tea.
