Entry Description

"Tea In You" is a community space that gathers people through the spirituality and culture of tea ceremony around the world. It focuses on the commonality and humanity that is found in tea ceremonies. Inspired by Kukuzo Okakura's "The Book of Tea"
The interior is a pause for thoughts, an appreciation for beauty. The visitor travels in ascension to witness the tea in those who are already seated. The seated are swimming in the smoke of
tea and the aroma of incense. Soon these two subjects become one immersed in transcendence of a shared moment; bridging the gap between any human difference.
