Creative Fusion: A Tale of Tea and Talent
We created these winter inspired drinks together with Mixologist Son Le Huu, Known in Berlin’s coffee scene as a thoughtful Barista, Mixologist and Co-founder of @2gathercafe, Son has found a new creative field in tea. We invited him into this world, and together he’s crafted four winter drinks that blend his slow, intentional approach with the quiet depth of tea.
Son’s work resists fast trends; it’s rooted in presence, connection, and care. For him, tea isn’t a departure from coffee but an expansion of his understanding of flavour and ritual. We invite you to discover with us these delicious tea-based mocktails. Mindful, aromatic companions for festive gatherings and quiet winter evenings alike.
