About Tea Tribe
Tea Tribe is the country's leading provider of event tea services and a producer of holistic community events. For more than twenty years, we've created ceremonial tea lounges — tea oases where guests find sanctuary — at hundreds of gatherings across the Bay Area and beyond.
Our name
Tea can mean a beverage made by steeping the leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis — or one made from the leaves, flowers, fruits, and roots of countless other plants. In our name, we mean something larger: tea culture, the communities and ways of life that tea inspires.
Tribe once referred to ethnically cohesive groups around the world. In more recent times it has come to mean a community that shares a common interest — and that's what we mean: a community brought together by a shared love of tea culture, defined by the way tea is made and shared, the way people gather around it, and the beauty that surrounds the drinking of it.
What we do
Event tea services. We bring tea lounges to events of every kind — corporate gatherings, weddings, festivals, conferences, and private parties. Our crew of tea ceremonialists serves fine teas from around the world in numerous traditional styles.
Community events. We also produce our own holistic community events in the Bay Area and beyond, bringing people together around tea, music, and culture.
Our philosophy
Tea Tribe creates tea oases for guests to find sanctuary at events. Attendees are invited to shelter in our comfortable, beautifully decorated tents and lounges, sipping gourmet tea in a calm and gorgeous setting.
These experiences cultivate heart-based connection, community, mindfulness, inner peace, appreciation of beauty, intercultural understanding, and reverence for nature.
