When was the last time you slowed down and had a real conversation — not small talk, but something a little more honest?
This is a simple afternoon to pause, sit down, and spend time with a small group of people you may not know (yet). No pressure to perform, no need to say anything “right” — you can share, listen, or just be.
We’ll start with a gentle check-in to ease into the space, followed by tea and open conversation. There might be a few light prompts to get things going, but nothing too structured — the idea is to keep it natural.
At some point, we’ll also bring in a simple creative moment — just something for your hands to do while your mind wanders a bit.
Think of it as an easy, unhurried afternoon: good tea, good company, and a bit of space to breathe.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.
Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.
A Quiet Afternoon Tea About Life: Lee Jia
After a few years of struggles and unexpected changes, Lee Jia embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery and realization. She started viewing life from a whole new perspective, learning how to trust, create and love.
And now, Lee Jia will be sharing her stories and inner journeys, on how she got to know herself through the challenges and incidents in life, and how she figured out the things that healed her, and things that made her grow.

Space
As you step inside, the city noise fades, replaced by a calm, grounding quiet.
The Barn is a peaceful hideaway in the city — sunlight and fresh air flow through large windows, and the spacious terrace invites you to stretch, dance barefoot, or enjoy tea with friends as the sun sets.
The view of distant hills and sky brings a sense of everyday calm. If you look closely, you might spot the Maokong gondola slowly gliding across the skyline. The air feels light and clean, with a faint scent of wood.
Inside, there’s a cozy mix of wood, light, and plants that instantly makes you feel at home. It’s the kind of place where you can read, think, or just slow down for a bit.
You might realize that the peace you’ve been looking for has been right here the whole time.
Nourish
Our private chef Roy will prepare warm, heartfelt plant-based meals just for you.
With over a decade of culinary experience, Roy brings a quiet passion for seasonal ingredients sourced from across Taiwan. As the former head chef at several plant-based restaurants and a winner of multiple international culinary awards, he has spent years exploring the unique nature of each ingredient — and discovering the gentlest way to bring out its true flavor.
Roy’s cooking philosophy challenges the old notions of vegetarian food. For him, it can be light, vibrant, and full of surprises. Every dish is prepared with intention and care, crafted to nourish both body and soul. You’ll taste the harmony of health and flavor in every bite — and maybe even be moved by how pure and satisfying plant-based cuisine can be.
