I was delighted to write about the Alishan Forest Railway in #Taiwan for Lonely Planet's latest book. I've been on it the mountain many times to get to my aunt's tea farm. There are also fantastic pieces by @olismithtravel.bsky.social, @shafikmeghji.bsky.social , @monisharajesh.bsky.social.

Hello! I'm a travel writer who was once a scientist and now runs @marulinuk tea company in London. I work as a tea and food judge sometimes and as a strategy consultant on occasion. I smell, taste, write, and love numbers. Let me know if we can work together.

Thrilled to be published in Fare Magazine on a topic very close to my heart - tea! The photo is of Mrs. Chen, whose family is from ten generations of tea farmers, in Maokong near Taipei. That's my hat from my tea farm in the background.
