First Steep · New Year · New Leaves · New Beginning

Join us as we welcome the year the best way we know how—through tea.

On New Year’s Day, NYTS Tea Studio–Ktown invites you to a special gongfu tea session dedicated entirely to firsts. Every tea poured will be new to the studio, thoughtfully selected to mark a fresh beginning and set the tone for the year ahead.

This gathering is about slowing down, warming the hands, and letting the first infusions of the year unfold naturally. Expect a guided gongfu-style session, intentional pacing, and space for quiet conversation, reflection, and shared presence. No experience is needed—just curiosity and an openness to start the year gently.

Whether you’re stepping into the year with clarity, questions, or simply a love for good tea, there’s a seat for you at the table.

Come turn the leaf with us—one brew at a time.

Admission to this event is $35 or it can be purchased…
