Position:
Shisha Master / Mixologist

About Me:
I am a professional shisha master based in Taipei with hands-on experience in both lounge operations and product development. My work focuses on flavor construction, balance, and the full sensory experience of hookah — from aroma layering to heat management and aftertaste control.

I specialize in working with Russian tobacco brands and developing complex mixes that emphasize clarity, structure, and emotional impact. For me, hookah is not just a product, but a form of expression — combining technique, creativity, and atmosphere.

Philosophy:
“Every mix should tell a story — not just taste good, but feel complete from the first inhale to the last.”
