Water Sommelier Association
Professional body for water culture promotion
Our Vision
Water is symbolized as the highest standard of goodness from Chinese culture. We combine the Western scientific knowledge and the Chinese culture, and create “the Spirit of Goodness Like Water ” theory (the Spirit). We aim to promote a deeper understanding of water, and inspire reflection on the environment, society, and human relationships.
The Chinese culture reveals the water’s goodness, while the Western perspective helps us understand water more scientifically. Through the Spirit that integrates Eastern and Western wisdom, our vision is to promote the common healthiness of the nature, society, and humanity, and foster the sustainable coexistence of the Earth and humanity.
We promote water culture education, train professional Water Sommeliers, and enhance the public's understanding of water. We believe that when people can appreciate the value of water, they can see the commonality of the Spirit.
