Building on a decade of curating crafts and cultural spaces across five locations in China, Yushu expanded to London in 2024. The original Yushu Tea Shop evolved into Yushu Tea Gallery in August, focusing on curated Chinese teas, artisan craft works, tea ceremonies, and exhibitions, celebrating the integration of traditional and contemporary tea culture.

“A love of Trees and Leaves”
Since 2024, Dan has started to create tea vessels using the Fuki-Urushi technique. Believing each tree holds a spirit, he embraces simple tools, primal methods, and perseverance and resilience required for mastery.
