Japan National Tourism Organization x Teavolution Ph at the 2024 Travel Tour Expo
February opened with a bang as I was invited to speak by the Japan National Tourism Organization about Japan's spring teas at the Travel Tour Expo 2024, SMX, Pasay City on February 2, 2024.
We served over 50 cups of Genmaicha, Sencha, and Houjicha Japanese green teas to visitors of the Japan Pavilion which was crowded with so many people all throughout the day. Which prompted me to quip: "Everybody wants to go to Japan!" 
Thank you so much to everyone who showed interest and appreciated our service. Thank you to JNTO for having me again this year! This is my second tine working with them and I am deeply grateful for their trust.
LEXUS Philippines x Teavolution Ph Lunar New Year Launch
Last weekend Feb 17-18, 2024, it was Lexus Philippines which got me talking about tea and got my handmade ceramics displayed at their showroom in Mitsukoshi Mall BGC as they celebrate the Lunar New Year. We had two groups of guests over the weekend and they loved the teas and tea talk.
One of the guests was a young boy who showed a keen interest in tea so I taught him how to handle the hot teapot, how to pour and serve tea properly. The curiosities and enthusiasm they showed inspired me more than ever. 
I also have my ceramic works on display at the receiving area of their showroom and I extended the invitation to master potter Joey de Castro whom I'll be working with for a collaborative exhibit which will open on April 21, 2024 at the Sierra Madre Gallery, Mandaluyong City. Please save the date!
Thank you to Lexus Philippines for a wonderful weekend! Until the next event!
