TEA EVENTS
SIT & SIP - SOCIAL STEEP ROOM
We believe that harmony is born from the uniqueness of each.
We know that the simple act of sharing tea will change the world.
Our Thursday evening events bring this knowing to life—spaces where we come together to be, to listen, to play, and to connect.
We are delighted to welcome you back to Floating Mountain's weekly Thursday events, held every Thursday from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM — by reservation only.
This season, we are also introducing Teahouse Outside—a seasonal series of outdoor tea gatherings hosted by Floating Mountain in unique and beautiful locations across the city. Each event offers a chance to step out, slow down, and experience tea in harmony with the natural world.
Stay tuned for upcoming dates and locations.
