Taiwan's Miaoli County is well known for its traditional bitter orange tea. According to legend, the Hakka people would claim the pulp and peel of the bitter oranges that were offered to the gods and char this mixture for a perfect harmony of smoky citrus flavor. When brewed, this tea develops into a deep orange color and exudes a strong, bright aroma.

Lennon Tool Bar was founded in 2014 at Tamsui, Taiwan. Initially, it started to promote arts and crafts of Indigo Dyeing, a business that flourished a century ago in Taiwan, and at the time, Taiwan exported a considerable amount of "doroai," or the raw material of colorants used in Indigo Dyeing, to the Japanese Empire. Lennon Tool Bar draws inspiration from the traditional process and the popular colors used in Indigo Dyeing.
