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

Vy — Operations & 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, 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.

Mike — Vision & Drive

With a background spanning international relations, e-commerce, and digital marketing, Mike guides 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, 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

Lynn’s background blends creative disciplines, research, and community work. She brings structure, clarity, and practical insight to Misty Lava — helping the team stay organized, customer-obsessed, and true to the brand’s values. Her eye for both design and everyday usability keeps us grounded in what real people actually want and love.

Francis — Finance & Scale

With experience across technology, product development, and entrepreneurial ventures, 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.
