K-Tea: From Farm to Cup
A Korean Tea Tasting Experience in a Traditional Hanok
Step into a beautiful Seoul hanok and spend an afternoon slowing down through tea, conversation, and connection.
Hosted in partnership with Roots and Rituals, this intimate gathering explores Korean tea beyond what most people encounter. Every tea has been thoughtfully sourced directly from farmers and makers across the Korean countryside, allowing you to taste the stories, landscapes, and traditions behind each cup.
Together, we'll journey through a curated tasting of six Korean teas (with bonus teas if time allows), exploring a range of styles including white, green, yellow, blue (oolong), red, black, and herbal teas. Along the way, you'll learn about where each tea comes from, who made it, how it was produced, and the cultural significance behind it.
But this isn't just a tea class.
Tea has always been a catalyst for meaningful conversation. Between tasting flights, we'll pause for guided reflection, journaling, and discussions designed to help strangers become friends and conversations go beyond small talk.
Whether you're a longtime tea enthusiast or simply curious about Korean tea culture, you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for what's in your cup—and the people sharing it with you.
