Friends and collaborationsLongwu, Xihu District, Hangzhou
Semio is a curious tea seed with a travel tin and an endless supply of questions. Longwu taught him to love Longjing and to notice something new in a familiar leaf.
The story / Semio
Semio appeared in an imaginary tea garden as a seed eager to learn why grown-ups were so excited about the first spring tea. He traveled to Longwu and fell for Longjing, especially the chance to study its flat leaves before brewing. Semio asks simple questions that sometimes puzzle experts, and never pretends to understand everything at once. His closed travel tin keeps a chosen sample, while his little bag leaves room for the next discovery.
