The story / Tim
In our story, Tim appeared in the warm steam above the first cup offered to a newcomer in a Fangcun tea shop. He brings everyone around the same table: he asks one good question, brews Fenghuang Dancong and introduces people. On the road, he listens to producers and brings home samples and their stories. He never pretends to know everything; when a tea surprises him, he says so first. In Teamotea’s fictional world, he is a warm companion from the tea’s place of origin to a shared cup.
Teamotea helps build tea businesses through direct sourcing, wholesale supply, private-label production, branding and packaging.
Tim is Teamotea’s mascot: a sociable tea spirit from Guangzhou’s Fangcun market. His travels, samples and shared cups bring the company’s work with tea and its makers into a character’s story. TEA.TOYS, Teamotea’s IP development studio, creates his world.
