Be part of the very first chapter of our tea room.

We are slowly transforming a basement space in Harvard Square into a warm, quiet tea room — a place for tea, rest, conversation, and cultural connection. Every wall, shelf, light, and detail has taken more time and care than we expected, but slowly, this space is coming to life.

By purchasing a First Steep Supporter ticket, you are helping us complete the final stage of renovation and open our doors to the community.

What You’ll Receive:

$36 Tea Ticket — Curated Tea Experience

This is our entry-level tea ticket for guests who are new to Chinese loose-leaf tea or simply want to enjoy a relaxed tea experience.

You may choose one curated tea with a thoughtfully paired sweet for a complete gongfu-style tea session, or join a shared tea experience featuring three types of tea.

$55 Tea Ticket — Premium Tea Experience

This premium ticket gives you access to a higher tier of our curated tea selection.

You may choose one premium tea with a thoughtfully paired dessert for a complete gongfu-style tea session, or join a shared tea experience featuring three types of tea.

Compared with the regular ticket, this option allows you to explore rarer teas, including selections from high mountain regions, aged tea trees, and small-production tea gardens.

$75 Tea Ticket — Premium Tea Flight with Pairings

This ticket offers the fullest tea room experience.

You’ll enjoy a premium tea flight featuring three thoughtfully selected teas, paired with confections chosen to complement the flavor, aroma, and feeling of each tea.
