The Table of Encounters — an intimate tea and connection gathering

The Table of Encounters — an intimate tea and connection gathering - at Alma Tea Gallery, Paris

Imagine an evening where nobody asks “so what do you do?” in the first five minutes.

No forced smiles, no business-card energy. Just a table, very good tea, and people you can actually talk to.

We created that kind of space for you in Paris — a tea gathering, brewing in the Gong Fu Cha tradition, where instead of typical networking you step into a slower rhythm. It’s like a reset at the end of the week: you arrive with the city in your head, and leave with the feeling that you met your people.

The secret is the format. In Chinese tea culture, the tea table isn’t just tea — it’s a ritual that changes the pace of conversation: small cups, unhurried brewing, pauses between words.

Your senses sharpen, tension softens, and the connection around the table becomes almost tangible.

What you’ll experience

•A gathering around a beautifully set table — a real piece of nature placed at

the center, bringing a unique and cozy atmosphere into the room.

•A guided Pin cha tea ceremony — try different high quality loose leaf teas of

Moychay.nl collection through short infusions, and dive deeper into the gong fu way of drinking tea.

•The Anonymous Notes Ritual — you write a question, intention, or what’s on your mind. The notes are mixed, everyone draws someone else’s, and the table responds.

This is the moment where strangers become something more.

You leave not with a list of contacts, but with the feeling: “I’m not alone in this.”
