Sammul Chan has a passion for tea. Although tea drinking has been regarded as an interest which older men favour, Sammul has a keen interest in tea since he was a little chap. Sammul reveals that his passion for tea was influenced by his grandfather. He says, "When I was small, a group of cousins and I would go my grandfather's house to have dinner. My grandfather would then make us a cup of tea to drink. The more I drank, the more interest I gained. Then I spent time with my grandfather to learn about brewing tea. Brewing tea can help train your patience and stimulus of thought because brewing tea is a step by step process. This is my attitude towards life."
