hmm… i like We Heart’s description:
Launched in 1997 by musician, artist, trendsetter and tea connoisseur, Ms. Zhang Jin Jie (aka JinR), Green T. House began life as a simple tea house, 3 tables that would serve as a cultural hub for fellow artists and musicians… Within 5 years, JinR had turned her hand to haute cuisine, revolutionised Beijing’s restaurant scene, been described by Time Magazine as “China’s first celebrity chef” and in the process had developed a unique cultural brand in Green T. House.
