Behind every herbal tea, there is a secret garden

Herbal tea, a drink that’s so close to each Guangzhou person’s life. Yet we don’t know much about them. In this wondrous talk, self-learned botanist Yefei Li takes us through the secret gardens behind some of the most famous herbal teas. From words to images, from finance to plants, Yefei Li was driven by his curiosity and ultimately, became a self-educated botanist after four years of studying. He knows every detail of the plants around us.

He founded Plant Planet, using words and images to introduce the beauty and sorrow in the world of plants and to depict the relationship between plants and a good life. He owned "the world's most bitter" herbal tea shop in an alley of Shanghai. In the conference, he will tell us the origin of Guangzhou herbal tea culture, as well as introducing the herbal plants that we drink yet not notice. All plants embrace their natural processes - from blooming to withering. However, only when we focus on and care for nature, can we discover the fun of life.
