Berlin Tea Week special: Evening tea gatherings- Sour Tea Tasting

​Berlin Tea Week Special: Evening Tea Gathering- Sour Tea Tasting
📅 November 4th · C*SPACE Berlin

​We are delighted to welcome Patrik Gertschen from Zurich, joining Claudia Priemer for an evening dedicated to one of tea’s best-kept secrets: Suan Cha — Sour Tea 🍵

​Suan Cha / Sour Tea — The Tea That Ripens Underground for Over a Year

​Deep in the mountains of Yunnan, the De’ang and Bulang peoples guard a rare tea tradition: hand-picked leaves are briefly cooked, pressed tightly into bamboo tubes, sealed with red clay, and buried 60cm deep in the tea garden. Naturally lacto-fermented without air for over a year — before seeing daylight again and being dried in the sun.

​The result? Fruity and sour on the first sip, with a sweet, lingering finish. Naturally rich in GABA. 🌿

​During the Berlin Tea Week, C*SPACE will be open every evening, co-hosting a series of individual tea events. Each evening will offer a space for community, tea, and connection.
More information coming soon.

​Donation-based, suggested 10-20 Euro

​About C*SPACE

​C*SPACE is a common-purpose-driven creative hub in Berlin-Weißensee, located in a former furniture factory. Tea culture has been part of C*SPACE's identity for many years.

During the pandemic, the Pop-Up Teahouse Berlin was developed as a socio-cultural, tea-based cultural gathering format. Since then, it has evolved into a recurring programme with multiple editions, bringing together tea, culture, art, learning, and community. In 2022, C*SPACE was honoured to welcome the BTF – Berlin Tea Festival to its space, bringing the wider tea community together at CSPACE.
