Teaism is delighted to announce the debut of its Sunday Jazz & Tea series, held at Teaism Lafayette Park. This inaugural concert features acclaimed DC musician Thad Wilson, joined by his band.

Sunday Jazz & Tea brings together two Teaism traditions in one afternoon: our curated teas and small bites, paired with the jazz that has long filled the air at every Teaism location. This series is a celebration of that legacy — live, in person, and steeped in the sound our guests know and love.

Produced in partnership with Corinne Molz and Teaism.

Back by popular demand for our puerh enthusiasts. + More about our Sticky Rice Aged Puerh: “Nuomi Xiang,” Semnostachya menglaensis, is an herb that grows in Yunnan Province and has a distinct, beautiful scent of fresh sticky rice. The herb is blended into puerh tea to give a sweet, aromatic, “glutinous” note to the tea drinking experience that is sometimes also compared to Pandan leaf.

$20. Sold online and in-store. 2 oz bags – contains 13 pcs. https://www.teaism.com/product/special-sticky-rice-aged-puerh-2004/

We're so grateful to the creative community around us. From the authors, poets, musicians, and artists who've sat at our tables, sipped tea with us, and drafted notes and sketches along the way — you have helped shape Teaism over these last 30 years.

Last Friday, we were inspired by everyone's collages at Ariana R-G's tea-inspired art workshop at Teaism Penn Quarter.

Speaking of creative inspo: keep an eye out for a special Teaism 30th crossover event with our friends at DC Zine Fest on 8/28. More on this soon!

Join us next Friday, 7/31, from 6-8 PM for our next Teaism gathering. As part of our 30th anniversary celebrations, local artist Ariana R-G will lead a special tea-inspired collage workshop.

In this sensory experience, you'll sample Teaism teas and let the feelings they evoke guide you as you create a one-of-a-kind collage piece.

Advance tickets are required, and space is limited. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sip-feel-create-a-tea-collage-workshop-tickets-1992578480875?aff=oddtdtcreator&fbclid=IwY2xjawTPR81leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEepEVvJ6HxmTOSFubK32rxDThoaGdJZ3UdbJ2fI8PT4h1Bd6yJ5zKwe_F7Oco_aem_Dwgaq1aL0kHo6GzqFqV9fg
