About this Event
Tea in Form is an in-person tea tasting for the general public, exploring the connections between tea, ceramics, and art.
An intimate tea experience
Join SARAHCROWN x The Earthen Room for a serene, 90-minute gathering in the contemplative atmosphere of an art gallery. The tasting features specially sourced East Asian teas served in the distinctive wood-fired ceramics of South Korean artist Kimo An of Tousanyo, alongside a selection of delicate desserts.
Tea and ceramics
The tasting includes 1990s vintage Liu Bao tea from China, green tea from South Korea, and soba buckwheat tea from Japan. Each offers its own flavors, aromas, and cultural heritage. Guests can explore how the warmth and texture of Kimo An’s handcrafted vessels shape the shared sensory experience.
Based in Gimhae, South Korea, Kimo An creates wood-fired ceramics that celebrate clay, fire, and the unpredictable transformations of the kiln. Organic textures, subtle color variations, and surfaces shaped by flame and ash give each vessel its own character. His work reflects traditional ceramic craftsmanship and the quiet beauty of imperfection.
Art and a take-home cup
The gathering takes place within Under the Same Sky, an exhibition featuring works by Heekyoung Jeon and Hiva Alizadeh. Exploring nature, memory, and material, the exhibition provides a setting for quiet reflection and meaningful conversation about art, craftsmanship, and tea.
Each guest receives a handcrafted tea cup by Kimo An to take home. Additional ceramic pieces will be available to acquire through The Earthen Room.
Limited to 16 guests per session to preserve an intimate atmosphere.
