Wenzhuo Liu
Marloes Bodewes-Bos is from the Netherlands. She successfully transitioned from a career in law to the tea industry and is now an independent curator working with two Dutch museums, primarily focusing on exhibitions related to tea. In August 2026, Marloes has collaborated with the Dutch branch of National Geographic, traveling to Indonesia to film tea documentaries for exhibitions. In April 2027, an exhibition curated by Marloes on the Dutch tea heritage of Indonesia will be presented at Museum Joure in the Netherlands. Looking ahead, Marloes hopes to have the opportunity to visit China to experience Chinese tea culture firsthand and to curate an exhibition centered on Chinese and Dutch, European tea.
