About us

Hungry Tea Masters - Sharing Our Love for Tea and Food

Our deeply rooted connections with tea, food and people allow us to share the passion of tea-food pairing.

 

hungryteamasters is a brand under the company Li Jin Ng und Junjie Kong Hungry Tea Masters GbR, a family-owned business, specialising in single-origin, estate-grown loose tea leaves, and promoting drinking loose tea-leaves in Germany and Europe.

Here, too, is where we learned the ropes as a tea connoisseur and taster, developing a deep-rooted love for the tea cultures that connect Asia, our origin to where we call home now.

As certified tea masters who are always hungry, we are constantly looking for local food as we travel all around Europe and the world. With it also comes our quest to find the right teas to pair. In our humble opinion, tea-food pairing is the best way to break the resistance to pick up tea-drinking.

At hungryteamasters, we continue to strive to connect tea, food and people. As we gain knowledge and experience in the tea world, we share them with our friends and followers who also yearn to discover tea-drinking culture.

Thank you for exploring the world of tea with us.
