Episode 166: The Qi of Flowers With Lisa Li

Lisa worked in fashion for 10+ years and was feeling very burnt out. Before then Lisa was born and raised in a small coastal city Northeast of Beijing. While her single mom worked full time she used to have tea time with her grandma often as a child. Wanting to go back to a time and place where nourishing oneself's wellbeing was simple and wonderful just like tea time with grandma Lisa went on a transformational trip to Shangri-la, Yunnan - the birthplace of tea. There she discovered the Roses that the locals enjoy as a flower tea and delicacy in pastry.
