About the event

Steeped in Presence: An Afternoon Tea & Tasting Journey
An intimate afternoon of mindful tea, tasting bites, sound, and presence. Inspired by the elegance of London tea rituals and reimagined through The Portal, this is more than afternoon tea — it’s a curated sensory experience.

Guests will explore rare specialty teas — including varieties served at the Michelin-starred Clove Club in London — each thoughtfully paired with simple yet elegant tasting bites. The afternoon begins with a grounding welcome ritual and intention setting, before moving into a guided progression of four teas, flowing from light to rich. One tea will be steeped by participants as a hands-on ritual, while the others are prepared and served with care.

Each infusion will be accompanied by live sound and vibration, as singing bowls, chimes, and gongs weave into the steeping process to infuse every cup with resonance and presence. The experience concludes with a gentle integration, leaving guests grounded, nourished, and inspired.

Blending the refinement of high tea with the mindfulness of sound and ceremony, Steeped in Presence offers a rare afternoon journey of flavor and stillness, unlike anything else in Utica.

Capacity is limited to 15 guests for intimacy and depth. Tickets are $95 per person. Advance registration required.
