Lingling Liu is her real name and Ada the occidental one she has chosen. Having two names is part of Chinese culture since most chinese people pick an occidental name to communicate with foreigners, and this decision is based on personal preference and not necessarily on phonetic similitude.
This young shangainese woman has located her studio in Jing’an district, near Nanjing street, the most hectic street in this city. It is hard to believe that such a patient and spiritual person as her can live in a large city with 20 million inhabitants and known to be intense and stressful. Ada is patient and quiet, her tone of voice is so soft that one must be really concentrated to be able to hear her.
I was working late today, sleep deprived and very tired, and reading about Ada and her tea soothed my nerves… Thank you for sharing this story!

Beautiful story and person! Tea is a wonderful thing and I struggle to describe it just as she does.
Thank you for this story. I drew inspiration from the life of Ada. One day I plan to learn tea from the masters. That is my current goal.
