Our Philosophy: The Balance of Five Flavors

Founded in 2018 within an old tea house, our restaurant preserves the memory of poets and scholars. Under Chef Li Wei's direction, we offer a hybrid cuisine that respects the four great Chinese schools while daringly embracing Western flair.

Our philosophy rests on the balance of the 5 flavors (sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, salty) and the 5 colors, all within an eco-responsible approach to gastronomy.

Yin & Yang Balance

Every plate must contain the cold and the hot, the raw and the cooked, ensuring a perfect equilibrium.

Sustainable Commitment

We use local produce for vegetables and spices imported directly from Yunnan gardens, respecting fair trade.
