Evening Tea & Sound (Mystical Edition)

Join us for an evening of seasonal teas, ambient sound & sensory exploration in an immersive space ✨ A Sensory Experience by Alchème Studio ~ Tea&Sound Step into an evening of tea, sound and sensory exploration, created as an invitation to slow down, reconnect and experience tea in a different way. Set within an ambient, carefully curated space, Tea & Sound unfolds slowly over three hours. Every 30–40 minutes, a new tea will be introduced, each with its own story, origin, character and atmosphere. For this mythical edition, we explore the ancient stories behind teas and the magic of incense accompanied by ambient sound. Whether you arrive alone or with someone, there is no expectation to participate in a particular way. You can listen, talk, taste, observe, journal, or simply be. What’s Included • A curated journey through rare teas, with a 2 new teas introduced each hour (in total 5) • Stories behind the teas, exploring their origins, makers, landscapes • Ambient sound throughout the evening, inspired by the tea being poured • Sensory exploration through aroma, texture, flavour, sound and atmosphere • An exploration of Kōdo (Incense Ceremony) The Experience Arrive and settle into the space, before we begin our journey through the evening. Rather than moving through a traditional tasting menu, the teas will arrive gradually, giving each one its own moment. The sound will shift with the tea. Ambient music and sound will create a continuous thread throughout the evening, directly inspired by the character of tea currently served. This is an evening for slowing down. For noticing things you might normally rush past: the aroma rising from a cup, the warmth in your hands, a change in flavour between infusions, a sound from across the room, or a conversation that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. There will also be an additional Kōdo station, where you can explore the magic of incense. You are welcome to come alone, bring a friend, meet someone new, or simply enjoy your own company. There will be space for conversation as well as quiet reflection. You may bring a journal or book if you’d like, but there is nothing you need to prepare. Seasonal and made-in-house treats will be available to purchase throughout the evening, like onigiri, mochi, cookies, etc. A different kind of night out Tea & Sound is a completely alcohol-free experience — a space to spend an evening connecting, listening and socialising without alcohol being at the centre of it. Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, taking a break from drinking, or simply looking for something different to the usual bar or pub, you’re very welcome here. Come alone or with friends. Meet someone new, have a conversation over tea, lose yourself in the sound, or simply enjoy having somewhere to be without the pressure to drink. A little more to take home For those who want to extend the experience beyond the evening, a limited Mystery Box will be available as an optional add-on, allowing you to revisit teas, scents and sounds from the experience at home. Come as you are, leave moved. Where to find us?
