About
We are a husband and wife couple, one American and one Chinese, who are dedicated to educating the American public about Chinese culture. Patrick spent five years living, working, traveling, and learning about China. He met Xianna about 6 months into his trip through China. They met in the beautiful region of Yangshuo, Guangxi and have been inseparable since their first match-made date.
The name Caina Tea comes from a combination of Xianna's family name, Cai, and her middle/second half of her first name, Na. Together they make CainNa, pronounced China. She is from the famous Chaoshan (Chaozhou) region of Guangdong Province, right on the Fujian border. This is the area credited with first making the famous Gongfu Tea Ceremony a part of daily life, and they are the ones who defiantly kept the art form alive during the Cultural Revolution. She grew up with Gongfu tea. Patrick naturally learned to love tea from her, and now they travel and educate others.
