Mission: Tea Arts and Culture is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating connections to ourselves, to nature, and to each other through the art of tea. We believe that tea can inspire self-reflection and creativity. We strive to cultivate an appreciation for the diverse arts and cultures around us here in NYC. We bring people together to enjoy cross-cultural tea ceremonies, storytelling, multisensory, and multidisciplinary arts such as poetry, music, and performances. We organize tea gatherings and educational workshops in NYC public greenspaces, gardens, city parks, and senior centers, which are accessible to historically marginalized communities. We aim to nurture a sense of community, interconnectedness, and belonging.
Direct beneficiaries per year: Providing engaging programs to over 2000 people in person, including 7 senior communities around the city, over 10 local communities and directly trained 10 mentees through our partnership with GreenThumb NYC
