The Story
Tea is the most consumed beverage on Earth after water. And yet, despite connecting billions of people every day, tea remains one of the world's most overlooked cultural forces.
Behind every cup lies a story: of landscapes and ecosystems, trade routes and migration, ceremony and hospitality, resilience and exchange. For thousands of years, tea has helped people gather, negotiate, celebrate, grieve, learn, and belong.
What if tea still has something important to teach us?
Not a trade show
A gathering for those who believe culture matters.
Tea comes first.
Art, food, music, ecology and culture gather around it.
Not a destination
A beginning. The first chapter of a growing movement reconnecting tea to the people, places, and traditions that give it meaning.
Join us across Lisbon, the Azores and back again this autumn.
