About the Experience
Aprisio ‘The Long Table’ Garden Tea Soiree is an intimate early-evening community gathering that reimagines Aprisio’s much-loved Supper Table format 'The Long Table' in a lighter, more open setting. Hosted at the home garden of Aprisio member Smita, this edition shifts from a multi-course dinner and brings people together in a garden over tea and thoughtfully curated eats. The experience retains the soul of Aprisio’s ‘The Long Table’ - connection, conversation, and belonging, while opening its doors to a larger cross-section of the Aprisio community.
At its heart, Aprisio’s ‘The Long Table’ has always been about creating space - physical and emotional - for unhurried conversations. The 'Garden Tea Soiree' builds on that foundation while allowing the format to evolve. By removing the constraints of formal dining and fixed seating, the experience becomes more fluid, social, and accessible. Guests are free to move, mingle, and connect organically, making it ideal as an Aprisio Community Meetup.
Aprisio's ‘The Long Table’ Garden Tea Soiree is less about what’s on the table and more about who gathers around it. A gentle, welcoming pause in the early evening in a garden - where conversations flow easily, new connections form, and the community feels a little more like home.
About Smita

To make Tea more than a beverage you drink in the morning to wake yourself up, Aprisio's 'The Long Table' Garden Tea Soiree feat. 'Unchi Wali Chai' is a meditative experience that brings people together over tea. We'll learn how to taste and appreciate tea all while having a lot of fun with fellow tea aficionados and making new connections in the process.
