Modestine’s traveling tea ceremony practice, created as site-specific gatherings where place, pace, and presence meet.
Each ceremony is shaped by its environment and guided by intention rather than performance. The experience is slow, grounded, and immersive, using tea as a conduit for connection, reflection, and care.

How long is the ceremony?
Ceremonies typically last between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the setting and intention of the gathering.
Each desTEAnation ceremony is led by Modestine’s in-house certified tea sommelier. The ceremony is guided through expertise, restraint, and lived practice rather than scripted instruction.
Who leads the ceremony?
Where have desTEAnation ceremonies taken place?
Tea has long been used as a tool for grounding, gathering, and transition. Within Modestine, ceremony is not symbolic. It is practiced. Tea provides a shared rhythm that allows people to arrive fully, without instruction or performance.
Why a tea ceremony?
desTEAnation ceremonies have been held in New York and Grenada, with future destinations unfolding intentionally. Each location informs the ceremony, allowing place to shape the experience rather than imposing a fixed format.
desTEAnation ceremonies are available for luxury wellness resorts, select private gatherings, and spaces that value intentional pacing and care. Ceremonies are offered by alignment rather than availability.
Ceremonies have been held in Grenada, including Mount Cinnamon Beach and Wellness Resort, as well as select spaces in New York and beyond.
