Meet Summer

My journey with tea has taken me from the ancient tea mountains of Yunnan and Fujian to Shanghai and global connections. Over seven years in the tea industry, I have experienced the entire journey of tea — from cultivation and production to brand building and sharing Chinese tea culture with the world.
With 12 years of yoga practice and a RYT200 certification from Bali, I created Root Living to bring together tea, yoga, nature, and culture — inviting people from around the world to slow down, reconnect, and experience the unique rhythm of life in Xishuangbanna.
