Chinese Moon Festival Afternoon Tea, History, and Tasting

Step away from traditional networking and gather around a Chinese Afternoon Tea table for an enriching afternoon of tea, culture, conversation, and meaningful connection.

Held just days before the Chinese Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival on September 25—a cherished celebration of reunion, gratitude, abundance, and the full moon—this intimate gathering invites participants to slow down, savor the moment, and connect more authentically.

Enjoy the elegance and traditions of a Chinese Afternoon Tea experience at the Imperial Tea Court. Learn about Chinese tea customs, build confidence in appreciating fine teas, and celebrate the spirit of the Moon Festival while sampling traditional mooncakes and sharing engaging conversation with fellow professionals.

Unlike typical networking events, this experience is designed to be relaxed, personal, and memorable—where meaningful relationships can develop naturally and continue long after the tea is poured.

Your Admission Includes:
• A personal pot of premium tea of your choice
• A delicious Dim Sum sampler featuring assorted dumplings (chicken, shrimp, pork with green tea), Shao-mai (pork, shrimp, tofu, and purple rice), and a classic egg roll.
• Traditional Moon Cake tasting in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival
