Dear friends, we’re sorry to share that we're postponing our event with Kemi until early December.

We were recently notified that our building (Teaism Lafayette Park location) will undergo mandatory maintenance, and we want to ensure the best possible experience for everyone.

All ticket holders have been contacted via email about refunds and next steps.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to enjoying live jazz and tea with you soon!

We had a wonderful time hosting Akino Ogata (all the way from Japan!) at Teaism Lafayette Park last week. She led an engaging workshop for our Teaism community, teaching folks how to fold, cook, and serve traditional Japanese gyoza. We wrapped up the night with a book signing from Akino.

+ Love the music you hear on this clip? It is from our recent Teaism Sunday Jazz & Tea concert featuring the Thad Wilso Trio.

++ Join us for our *next* jazz concert at Teaism Lafayette featuring Kemi on 10/25 @ 1:30-3:30 PM.
