Misty Lava isn’t built by one founder — it’s a family effort and Vietnamese roots coming together.

Mike — Vision, Sales, & Marketing

With a background spanning diplomacy, e-commerce, sales, and digital marketing, Mike leads Misty Lava’s creative and operational direction. Years spent living and working across East Asia—including Vietnam, China, and Japan—shaped his instinct for cross-cultural storytelling, thoughtful sourcing, e-commerce, and sustainable online growth. At Misty Lava, these experiences come together in the brand’s voice, marketing, and long-term vision.

Lynn — Community, Strategy, & Brand

With a background in graphic design, research, and community engagement, Lynn helps bring Misty Lava to life through recipe development, social media content, and brand storytelling. Her eye for design and thoughtful attention to customer experience help keep us grounded in what customers truly value.

Vy — Operations, Logistics, & Craft

Vy began her career in a hands-on creative field that demanded precision and connection with people. Those same strengths now fuel her work in sourcing, logistics, quality control, and relationship-building with farmers. With deep knowledge of Vietnamese culture and community, she ensures that every batch of tea carries the care of its origin and arrives at peak freshness.

Francis — Finance & Scale

With experience across technology, product development, and entrepreneurial ventures in Silicon Valley, Francis provides the financial guidance and systems thinking that support Misty Lava’s growth. He helps translate big ideas into sustainable plans, ensuring the brand expands thoughtfully while staying rooted in its mission.
