A Shared Tea Experience: Exploring Pu’er & Yancha
Join us for an intimate tea experience guided by Scarlett Chang, founder of Leleforest—an LA-based tea studio rooted in Chinese loose-leaf tea culture.
From the misty mountain forests of Yunnan to the rocky cliffs of Wuyishan, we’ll explore two iconic Chinese teas—Sheng Pu’er and Oolong Rock Tea (Yancha)—each shaped by distinct landscapes, traditions, and ways of living.
This gathering invites you into a slow, intentional gongfu tea ritual—from preparation to tasting—creating space to pause, awaken the senses, and reconnect with yourself and those around you. Hosted in a small group of 6–8 people, the experience is designed to feel safe, relaxed, and communal. Come curious and open—whether you’re here to connect with others or enjoy a quiet solo moment.
As you leave, we hope you’ll feel inspired to create your own simple tea ritual at home.
