Tea Culture Week 2026

A Journey Through Tea: Culture, Senses, and Everyday Life

Date | April 20–23

Venue | Duke Kunshan University


Tea is more than a drink.
It is a way of slowing down, noticing, and connecting.

This Tea Culture Week is not simply a collection of events, but a thoughtfully designed experience.

We invite you to engage with culture through participation, and to connect with others through shared moments.
