Join us for an immersive evening celebrating the elegance of tea culture and the universal language of music! In honor of International Tea Day (May 21) and the recent UNESCO inscription of traditional Chinese tea-making techniques and associated social practices on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2022, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China and the Embassy Series warmly invite you to experience the ancient art and modern revival of tea. 

Begin your evening with an interactive tea tasting that spans centuries and provinces—from the earthy richness of Shaanxi’s Jingwei Fu tea, to the floral smoothness of Fujian’s oolong, to the trendy, beloved brews of HEYTEA, a modern favorite among young Chinese. Cultural activities and light Chinese-style refreshments will accompany this unique tasting experience.
