As we fondly reflect on the vibrant Lunar New Year celebrations that filled our hearts with joy, we bring you Teahouse updates in the blossoming spirit of spring.
Following a 4-month renovation, our Teahouse doors swung open during the Lunar New Year, transforming into a haven where our community comes together for moments of laughter, reflection, reconnection, and activities such as reading, painting, and writing.
During the festivities, the Teahouse also welcomed a special lion dance (an ancient ritual that bestowed blessings upon the rebirth of the space and its cherished community.) Many patrons sent their heartfelt intentions and wishes by writing notecards and putting them in Chinese Hongbao (red envelopes)— We got an overwhelming response!
A heartfelt thank you to the incredible Teahouse team – Kristen, Joe, Chris, Ryn, Tess, and Alec – who poured their hearts into serving an incredible 4,979 cups of tea in just over three weeks.
Most importantly, we extend our deepest gratitude to you, our beloved community, for being an integral part of the ongoing evolution of our new Teahouse. Your valuable feedback has served as a guiding light, shaping our growth, and continuing to inspire us to provide the best experience at the Teahouse.
What happens next?
As the Lunar New Year festivities conclude, the Teahouse will take a brief pause to prepare for the next phase. We'll be closed on March 5th and 6th, and with great excitement, we will reopen on March 7th to introduce a full tea service. Picture yourself savoring more than 20 kinds of Chinese and Taiwanese teas steeped to order, complemented by curated light tea-drinking snacks featuring nuts, dried fruits, crackers and the Chinese pastries and donuts we currently serve.
Have you ever wondered about the name?
In the spirit of community collaboration, we are thrilled to share another piece of exciting news – a community-driven naming process for our Teahouse is in full swing. We're actively inviting community leaders to join our staff in brainstorming sessions to craft the perfect name this spring. Soon, you'll have the chance to cast your vote for the official name of the Teahouse.
As you can see, the coming weeks hold a treasure trove of exciting announcements, and we're dedicated to ensuring you are an integral part of every joyous experience at our Teahouse. Join us in the celebration of community spirit, where every cup of tea tells a story and every moment is shared with cherished friends.
