- Derek Chew is the founder of Peony Tea Solutions (www.peonyts.com), an online Chinese tea shop in Singapore, whose motto is "Celebrating the contemporary art of tea." His goal is to simplify and demystify the art of tea so that anyone can brew it without feeling intimidated. There is a Chinese saying that "the tallest buildings are constructed from ground up." Although there is much to learn about tea, baby steps have to be taken. Derek hopes to simplify the process, but preserve the experience. On a personal note, the loves of his life are God, his family, literature, and tea - in that order. His plan is to devote the rest of his life to these four causes. On a frivolous note, he enjoys the odd occasional flirtation with the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA.
