Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets
The Cherry Blossom Tea Party in Dupont Circle
Tea has a long, rich history in Japanese culture with a variety of tea rituals and traditions, where every object and movement matter. While the ways people have enjoyed their tea has changed over time, Japan continues to have a strong connection to tea culture today.
Enjoy free tea from Valley Brook Tea, Teaism, and Tea Mansion among paper parasols in the beautifully decorated Dupont Circle Park.
HDCMS pays homage to this cultural staple for this year’s National Cherry Blossom Festival with the Dupont Cherry Blossom Tea Party.
