lena began working in her parents’ restaurant at an early age, but she especially loved the moments when her mother would share tea with her at home.

through her experience in several fine dining restaurants, she gained an appreciation for the dedication, passion, and craftsmanship that go into creating an experience that resonates deeply with guests.

during a break, lena completed yoga teacher training and has been teaching ever since. In her fast-paced life at the restaurant, she often notices how challenging it is in our hectic society to take time for what we are doing and to fully appreciate it.

after becoming a certified tea sommelier, she delved into the spiritual aspects of tea and began incorporating tea as a form of moving meditation into her daily routine. since then, tea has become a central part of her life.
