For centuries TEA has been a vessel and fuel in bringing people together. With a 5000-year history, how come we are only exposed to tea in teabags? TO TEA TOGETHER celebrates and promotes artisanal tea culture by engaging in conversations that bring diverse minds together and bridge cross-cultural gaps over a pot of quality tea. TO TEA TOGETHER shares insightful conversations from the next generation of leaders, athletes, artists, entrepreneurs, and scholars while cultivating a new era for the appreciation of artisanal tea culture.

#22– Pursuing Passion and Entrepreneurship in Clothing Design with Founder of Matik Boston | Dean Wahle

Dean Wahle is the founder and designer of the clothing brand Matik Boston. Dean is currently a rising-junior at Wake Forest University studying computer science. In this episode, we brew some Yunnan black and iron goddess tea to discuss the motivation, mindset, and process of pursuing a passion in entrepreneurship and clothing design. Dean shares the origin story of Matik Boston and his clothing production journey that started in the junior year of high school. When Dean started his journey in clothing production, he was so inspired by Kanye West and the streetwear culture, he decided to learn everything by doing!

We also share our insights on The Alchemist, written by Paul Coelho, as the book has been a huge inspiration for Dean in pursuing his Personal Legend. Throughout quarantine, Dean had much time to self-reflect and he shares how he has become more spiritual and begun incorporating mindful practices such as meditation and tea in his life.

MATIK X TO TEA TOGETHER Apparel Collaboration

As part of the release for this episode, MATIK BOSTON and TO TEA TOGETHER has collaborated on an apparel line selling t-shirts and hoodies. The design philosophy of this collaboration depicts Steve (Matik mascot) pouring himself tea from a gaiwan. However, the tea is overflowing from the teacup because Steve is an AI robot that learns as he goes. Brewing tea is new to Steve therefore, he is bound to make mistakes.
