Tea Pause, rooted in personal experience and Chinese tea culture, invites city dwellers to step out of their customary activities and unwind in a hexagonal tea house, fostering relaxation and introspection through contemplative tea-drinking sessions.
The space itself, inspired by the balanced harmony of the hexagon, embodies the essence of tea culture.Through the ancient art of tea brewing technique 'Cha bai xi', participants are encouraged to express their insights and emotions, creating tangible representations of their innermost thoughts on the tea froth.The project capture authentic narratives and personal reflections exchanged over tea,fostering meaningful interactions and heartfelt connections.
Through the journey with tea culture, this Tea moment motivates us to slow down, to reflect on our lives, allows us to learn about different life paths, and creates real emotional connections with strangers.
