CommuniTEA is one of the company's most cherished events - we've been holding it since the inception of West China Tea back in 2012. It is a regularly-held donation-based event where people can enjoy tea and each other's company. We believe that tea culture and the community that grows up around Gong Fu Cha are a force for good in the world and we want everyone to be able to experience it whether they are able to pay for it or not. We will have outdoor seating and floor-level indoor seating in the great hall, live music, and the tea shall flow! This is a donation based event - $10 suggested donation but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Spontaneous music, dance, and collaborative expression are standard occurrences. Please join us!
