STEEP: An Immersive Tea Lounge

As the last light fades over the bay you step into another world.

The first room breathes with immersive visuals and warm atmospheric sounds. You don’t watch it so much as inhabit it. Here you get your first effervescent pairing. The tea and cocktails waiting inside were born directly from what you just experienced: the projections, the compositions, the scent. Every drink is a translation. Time slows and you breath in the art and sound.

Then something shifts in the air.

An ephemeral scent installation threads through the space, pulling you forward — notes of smoke, osmanthus, salt air, dried citrus, something green and ancient. The fragrance is not decoration. It is the bridge to lead you forward.

The second room opens like an exhale.

Here, a bar of hand-blown glass art catches the light. The shimmer of glass art reveals itself within a floating garden of lush bites paired with new sips. Every taste is a translation. An echo of the room you came from.

Outside the windows, the Bay Bridge traces itself in light against the darkening sky.

You didn’t plan this evening. You discovered it.

What to Expect:

This event sits at the intersection of visual art, sound, scent, and craft. It highlights the multitudes of working across creative disciplines, introducing audiences to art forms they may not typically experiences as a blended narrative, while demonstrating the innovative intersection that challenges perception and expectations.

There will be immersive art designed to make scent visually tangible, effervescent, rhythmic and delicious. Something you steep into throughout the night, imbibing scents and bubbly in alcoholic and non alcoholic elixirs from glassware shaped to entice the sense and accentuate flavor profiles. Lush light bites will be served from a floating garden overlooking incredible views of the bay. Be prepared to steep into a lush and evocative evening of art, beverages and light bites.
