5 May

Grass People Tree

Join us for a rare journey into the world of wild, ancient, and indigenous teas at the Grass People Tree Tea Experience. Discover the unparalleled flavours, aromas, and health benefits steeped in centuries-old craftsmanship and cultural traditions that are unknown to the rest of the world.

Experience the authentic tea house culture as we transform the conservatory into the Master’s Tea House in Guizhou, China, where exceptional teas are served in traditional Gong Fu Cha style and conversations of culture, philosophy, and storytelling intertwine freely. Hosted by Rui, founder of Grass People Tree and the voice of her beloved homeland, this event welcomes all ages to join in transformative discussions and celebrate cultures within a global, inclusive community.
