Ubud tastemakers and tea connoisseurs, the CulCha Collective, takeover the tea table for a night of puerh drip and hip-hop performance. Tea Art lives on in the CulCha Collective – with a modern twist. The old instruments have become NRYN’s turntables, the ancient poetry reimagined in Kamau Abayomi’s hip-hop freestyles, and the calligraphy has morphed into graffiti. Tea-master Faye Jie steps from behind the tea table to exhibit the traditional dance of China, remixed with kung fu from the city streets. CulCha Collective is a crew of tea servers, musicians, dancers, healers, and ceremonialists. Their vision is to co-create a new spiritual culture each time they gather, a culture that can unite people across any perceived division.
