Tour of Tea: Every Sip Tells a Story

Thursday
May 14, 2026
4:00 pm-7:00 pm

In observance of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, join Tour of Tea SC and the CMA for a delightful journey of tea tasting and cultural discovery. Head to Boyd Plaza for this third annual community event celebrating the rich traditions of AAPI cultures and countries — Korea, China, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, India, and more — through an exploration of the history, flavors, and cultural significance of tea. Enjoy a variety of Asian teas paired with authentic snacks while experiencing vibrant performances including singing, dancing, and demonstrations. Tour of Tea activities and samples are free. Food is available for purchase from local vendors. Gallery entry is free with membership or admission. Join today!

In the event of inclement weather, this program will be held indoors. 

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. 

Can we assist you with accommodations for accessibility during your visit? Please let us know at 803-799-2810 or [email protected].
