Mid-Autumn Tea Ceremony: Mooncakes & Live Erhu Music
About this Event
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of China’s most cherished occasions for reunion and moon viewing. As early autumn settles in, it is also a fitting season to gather around tea.
Join us for an intimate Mid-Autumn Tea Ceremony with live Erhu music, two Chinese teas, and mooncakes. Limited to 8 guests, the gathering offers a quiet way to share the season through tea, music, and time together.
What You Will Experience
A Mid-Autumn Gathering
We will bring the festival’s spirit of reunion and sharing to the tea table. Guests will enjoy mooncakes, two carefully selected Chinese teas, and conversation in a small-group setting.
Live Erhu Music
The Erhu is a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument known for its graceful, lyrical voice and lingering resonance. Jingwen Zhang will open and close the gathering with live Erhu performances, allowing the music and tea to unfold together.
Two Teas for the Season
We will begin with Old Tree Zhengshan Xiaozhong, a Chinese red tea made from tea trees over a century old. It has elegant sweet and floral aromas, a distinct mossy and woody old-tree character, a mellow sweetness, and a lasting returning sweetness.
We will then enjoy Premium Zhengyan Dahongpao, a Wuyi rock tea with nutty, floral, and creamy aromas and a balanced, layered taste.
