Our Founder
Armed with a food science degree, Founder Winston Lau embarked on a global exploration of non-alcoholic beverages, ranging from craft soda to zero-ABV Wine. However, he consistently found these options to be lacking in complexity. Winston yearned to work with a base that possessed the same nuanced and sophisticated qualities as wine, but without the alcohol. He wanted a beverage that would seamlessly complement different cuisines and flavour profiles, much like the renowned winemakers have done for centuries.
It was during this quest that a friend introduced him to Lapsang Souchong tea, a tea steeped in historical significance. This unique black tea had played a prominent role in Britain's tea trade and the First Opium War, but had fallen out of favour in Hong Kong due to its smoky notes. This introduction sparked Winston's inspiration, and he set out to explore the vast potential of this complex beverage. Thus, Mindful Sparks was born, offering a luxurious range of sparkling teas.
While the world of cross-cultural wine and cuisine pairings is well-explored, the realm of tea and fine cuisine pairings still presents a vast landscape of untapped opportunities and discoveries.
Join us at the crossroads of ancient and modern tea culture, and embark on a new era of drinking, dining, and savouring.
