Our Story

How a German father and a Hong Kong family built something rare

Where It Began

It Began at the Dinner Table

One family kept answering the same questions — until they realised the answers were worth something.

For years, Mr. Lesch watched his wife answer the same questions, again and again. A friend's child wanted to study in Germany — which schools were good, and how to get in? Another asked about life after the DSE, about sending a teenager abroad, about settling in once they arrived. Which clubs to join. Which hobby classes were worth it. Where to even begin.

A senior figure in German corporate management, Mr. Lesch saw something his wife was too close to notice: between his decades of German know-how and local connections, and her lived experience as a Hong Kong mother who had built a home here, they were already giving something rare — freely, over and over.

Decades in German corporate leadership — and the local know-how and connections that turn intentions into introductions.

So they made it real. JCTJ Connoisseur brings together his professional expertise and connections with the warmth and understanding of a Hong Kong family who truly lives here.

More Than a Service

A Small Community, A Big Heart

The Hong Kong community in Germany is small. With their own children now grown, Mr. Lesch's wife and her circle of Hong Kong mothers found unexpected joy in caring for the students who arrive from home — welcoming them, guiding them, and gathering everyone together for every Asian festival to share the food and the traditions of home, far from home.
