Meet our founder

For Vincent Liu, tea was always about connection.

After leaving China to attend high school in the United States, he began studying Chinese tea in 2016 as a way to reconnect with his cultural roots. In 2017, he founded Duke University's tea club, CommuniTEA, built around a simple idea: tea is a universal beverage that brings people together.

That idea became MyTeaPal in 2020. What started as a personal tea journal evolved into a platform where tea lovers can record their journey, discover new teas, and connect with a global community.

After returning to China in 2021, Vincent launched the MyTeaPal Club and began sourcing tea directly from producers across the country. Since then, he has traveled across over 20 provinces, sampled 2,000+ teas, curated more than 200 for the community, and built relationships with hundreds of tea producers.

Today, MyTeaPal helps thousands of tea drinkers around the world learn, explore, and connect through tea.

From our community

Reviews from TeaPals around the world.

“MyTeaPal was an instant Gong Fu Cha game-changer for me! Being new to Chinese teas, I wanted to find a resource for expert advice on which teas to drink and a group of people with whom I could share my tea journey. With a curator like Vincent and regular virtual tea sessions with other members from around the world, I found both and much more with MyTeaPal! From a cost/benefit perspective, the club has far exceeded my expectations and I give it my highest recommendation.”

“We have been enjoying Gong Fu Cha for about 20 years. Often the tea we purchased from "western facing vendors" was either disappointing or boring. The teas Vincent has selected for the club have been consistently excellent. Combined with the MyTeaPal App, the videos, the tastings and the knowledgeable international membership I could not be more pleased.”

“Being able to enjoy tea with tea friends online and sharing our personal experiences makes MyTeaPal Club the most unique club boxes that I've ever tried. The integration of the MyTeaPal App gives me the opportunity to share my notes and pictures, plus the added new feature of connecting with other club members is just amazing. I'm already curious which teas Vincent got for the next few months.”

Pascal Djpas

Vienna, Austria

“The MyTeaPal Club is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. It is the only tea club that fully integrates your monthly teas with an app and community. This makes it so easy to brew and log your teas as you try them and share notes with all your friends, as well as make new ones. Plus, the teas are top notch and often include very unique or hard to source varieties.”

“I have learned so much about Chinese teas since joining the MyTeaPal Club. Region by region the subscription allows me to explore the teas together with a great community of TeaPals from all over the world. I very much look forward to continuing that journey.”

Stefan Bresslauer

Frankfurt, Germany

“After I started using the MyTeaPal app, I realized I actually stepped into an amazing community of like-minded and kind-hearted souls who meet from around the world weekly and share their love for tea. Within the MyTeaPal Club, not only are the teas fresh and directly sourced from MyTeaPal creator Vincent's recent travels, but they are also curated with an interesting and educational focus that keeps us excited to taste and learn more. It's been such a great community and experience.”
