​We are hosting another tea gathering, raising funds for families in Gaza. Our afternoon tea this month will be outdoors and accompanied by live DJs! ​All are welcome: tea & music lovers/enthusiasts, casual tea drinkers, beginners etc. The only requirement is believing in Palestinian liberation.
​Come with an open mind and taste the diverse flavors, traditions, and rituals of various teas while connecting with others and sharing your own experiences.
​We’ll have 4-5 different brewing stations and you will be able to move from station to station freely, staying as little or as long as you want. We’ll be serving various types of tea from the camellia sinensis plant, ranging from Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Taiwanese to Japanese tea as well as tea snacks. ​We’ll be located in Monterey Hills/El Sereno and please note all teas will have caffeine.
——Fundraiser——
​All net proceeds from this event will go to 3 families in Gaza. Our friend Nico (@treekyneeky) taught in Gaza last summer and these are people she connected with while she was there.
​We have the power to at least make the financial aspect of this choice easier by contributing directly to her friends. Nico is still in contact with each of them and our donation can make a big impact on their ability to evacuate. ​For more details about the 3 funds we are contributing to and to see other aid requests, please check out Mutual Aid for Gaza:https://www.mutualaidforgaza.com
​Through this event, we hope we can share a joyful experience together while helping these families get to safety.
​——Reservations–
​$35 minimum donation to reserve a spot. We encourage those who can to donate more. Link in bio for more info on how to reserve a spot.
​Any questions?
Dm @xoc.hi or me

Tea Gathering – Day I

Our intention for this event was to have fun in every process of tea — smelling, tasting, brewing, roasting, practicing, community and much more. Everyone was so open to try and learn various teas and sharing their own relationship with it. I hope we all left feeling a deeper connection with tea and each other.

Due to the overwhelming interest we've received, we decided to extend the Tea Gathering an extra day, Sunday Jan 28th, 2024 (11am-2pm). You can rsvp with the link in my bio. Menu and tea may vary slightly.

Come experience the joy of tea where friendships are nurtured and tea is celebrated. All are welcome: tea lovers/enthusiasts, casual tea drinkers, tea beginners etc. Come with an open mind and taste the diverse flavors, traditions, and rituals of various teas while connecting with others and sharing your own experiences.

We will have 4 different brewing stations (3 gongfu, 1 chanoyu) and guests will be able to move from station to station freely, staying as little or as long as they’d like. We’ll be serving various teas, ranging from Chinese, Vietnamese red, Korean, Taiwanese oolong to Japanese green, hojicha roasting in person and matcha as well as tea snacks.

The best tea experiences are often shared with others, as each person’s respective experiences add another dimension to and expansion of the entire experience. Tea allows us to deepen our relationship with ourselves, nature and others. We look forward to sharing that with you at our gathering.

A Summer Tea Tasting

Beyond grateful for the opportunity to share this experience with everyone that came. Thank you for coming to this tea tasting with an open and curious mind to learn about tea, to choose this workshop as a gift to yourself after stressful week and as a way to share joyful moments with friends.
Thank you @xoc.hi and @sivan_ss_ for creating this experience with me. I am so inspired by both your talents and love for tea and so much care putting in this workshop. Xochi spent 3 hours just to clean the banana leaves to make suman from scratch, designing tea menu with Japanese washi paper with our handwriting. Without Sivan, we wouldn't have such a detailed and well-put tea guide. For a month, all I did was making jelly cakes. Creating from love and purpose of bringing the best experience that I can, I challenged myself to learn new skills and strengthen ones that I already had.
Thank you @tea__at__shiloh and @ahdom for creating the most magical tea houses. Thank you @fleur.boy for your generous support and sharing your gifts with us. Thank you @rashaunrichardson for being on this journey with me since day one with your unwavering love and care, for capture these moments. Love you all so much🤍

Summer Japanese Tea Tasting

The event's hosts will guide the guests through the experience of tasting these four teas, showing ways to focus on their flavors, the history of Japanese tea, and how to brew at home.

The tasting features four very special teas that showcase Japanese green teas: A wild cultivar from a 100 year old garden, a special single cultivar from high-elevation region Shizuoka, a classic toasty blend from famous tea city Yame, and an exquisite, traditionally shaded umami-bomb gyokuro from Uji, the celebrated epicenter of Japanese tea history.

Gyokuro translates into "Jade Dew" in English. It is considered the most high quality type of green tea in Japan. The tea is thoughtfully grown with special cultivation and processing methods that create a deep umami and full sweetness in the brew, with barely any astringency at all.

Homemade wagashi (sweets to accompany tea) and snacks will be provided.
