Tea lovers, get ready to learn a thing or two: the nonprofit platform Water Street Projects is bringing an immersive festival inspired by tea and its rituals. Through tea’s myriad forms—including aroma, texture, color and flavor—visitors will experience innovative interpretations of how we gather to share tea and communiTEA, if you catch my drift.
The free public festival on February 1 will take place throughout the 40,000-square-foot Water Street Projects exhibition and community space located on the fifth and sixth floors of WSA, an iconic downtown skyscraper. Selected design teams include mother-daughter architectual pair Toshiko Mori and Tei Carpenter, landscape artists from Studio Lily Kwong led by Shannon Lai, and others.
