Founder
Dato' Lau Kok Tong
Dato' Lau Kok Tong has a background in IT and systems architecture, and has long worked in fields related to technology and systems thinking. Rather than focusing on isolated technical execution, he places greater emphasis on structure, logic, and the design of systems that can operate stably over the long term.
Before founding Songju, he was deeply involved in multiple cross-disciplinary projects, building substantial experience in process optimization, system integration, and sustainable development. This background became a key foundation of what makes Songju fundamentally different from an ordinary teahouse— Songju is not merely a teahouse, but a cultural and lifestyle system designed to operate over time and continuously evolve.
Product Department Head
Ms. Huang Lanping
Ms. Huang Lanping, a native of Chaoshan, is the Head of Product at Songju and has long been deeply engaged in the tea industry. She focuses on tea selection, product architecture, and the development of flavor systems, bringing a systematic approach and practical experience to every stage from origin and processing to final presentation.
Grounded in the tradition of Chaozhou gongfu tea, she values the essence and balance of tea. Rather than chasing short-term market trends, she is more concerned with whether a tea has the value to be drunk and to exist over the long term.
