NAK Taiwanese tea among fresh tea leaves in our Songboling tea garden, Nantou, Taiwan

A CONTEMPORARY
TAIWANESE TEA
CULTURE HOUSE.

NAK is a contemporary Taiwanese tea culture house rooted in the land, cultivars and craft of Taiwan.
We work with tea as more than a beverage —
as a sensory experience, a material, a ritual, a way of hosting and a part of contemporary life.

TEA IS MORE
THAN A DRINK.

Tea can begin a morning or close a meal.

It can give someone a moment alone, or make room for another person at the table.

It carries the character of a place, the decisions of a maker and the time allowed for each stage to unfold.

For NAK, tea matters not only because of how it tastes, but because of the place it can take in life.

Grounded and closely tied to everyday tea-making craft, Songboling is an important foundation for
NAK's Jinxuan, Sijichun and black tea expressions.

Higher elevation and cooler conditions give Alishan a different expression —
one of florality, clarity, air and mineral character.

TEA IS SHAPED
BEFORE IT IS POURED.

The character of a tea begins long before brewing.

Variety, growing conditions, oxidation, drying, roasting, season and batch all leave their mark.

FROM TEA
TO STATE.

Aroma, texture, body and finish give every tea a character.

NAK translates that sensory character into a simpler, more intuitive language: State.

Not a promise of what tea will do to you, but a way of describing how a tea presents itself.

To taste before explaining.
To make space for yourself and for others.
This is the place NAK believes tea can still hold in contemporary life.
