Tour of Tea SC

Tour of Tea SC is a South Carolina nonprofit organization dedicated to building community, celebrating AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) cultures, and creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where everyone feels at home.

Founded from our signature event, Tour of Tea, we bring people together through the universal language of tea — sharing stories, honoring traditions, and creating opportunities for cultural exchange.

Through our events and initiatives, Tour of Tea SC focuses on:

  • Hosting inclusive community events that celebrate diversity through tea and storytelling

  • Amplify and support South Carolina AAPI-led organizations through funding, partnerships, and media exposure

  • Foster community building by honoring diverse traditions and voices

At Tour of Tea SC, we believe that when people come together over a shared experience, meaningful conversations happen, stereotypes are broken, and stronger communities are built. Whether you’re joining us at an event, supporting AAPI businesses, or simply learning more about different cultures, you’re part of a growing movement to celebrate diversity and inclusion across South Carolina.

Thank you for being part of our story.
We’re excited to continue brewing community — one cup, one conversation, and one connection at a time.
