In 2016, Ninh started a Japanese ceramics business and the Japanese Tea Culture sparked her passion for tea. In 2018, she opened a small tea room called Tea Corner (Goc Tra teahouse) to seriously start researching and practicing tea. Ninh obtained her ITMA Tea Sommelier Certification Course in 2019. Since then, she has regularly had the opportunities to learn and be trained by several experienced tea masters with different expertise in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Japan, France, USA, etc. Especially, she completed the International Certificate Class of Taiwan Speciality Tea under the official sponsorship of Tea and Beverage Research Station (TBRS), Ministry of Agriculture, Taiwan.
The Covid-19 epidemic caused Ninh to begin developing intentional connections between tea and traditional medicine, aromatherapy, chakra systems, and more. Through this, she realized that one of her efforts was to take tea out of its usual context, so that tea was not just a simple drink but also a practical method of supporting physical and mental health. In 2020, she officially restructured the small teahouse into Ninh Tra Company Limited, specializing in providing highly applicable tea-related products and services such as tea ceremony, tea brewing training, tea workshop, tea therapy etc.
Influenced by classical eastern philosophical thought and tradition, one aspect of her work employs tea as a medium not so much as to teach or persuade but to encourage oneself to ask questions about growth, change, alignment, restoration, and solace. Tea sessions become opportunities for the self to engage in dialogue, in which one learns to embrace the fundamental ‘non-dualism’ of life and all that revolves around it. The practice of tea, then, is not an escape from life, but the very means by which to live it with intuition, integrity, authenticity, and awareness.
