Ayeeyo’s Blends curates a three-day takeover of Culture House, London with an exciting line-up of events.

Culture House embodies Ayeeyo Blends’s ethos showcasing a living celebration of Somali tea culture. During a one hour guided workshop on Thursday, you’ll learn how to create your very own teabags and shaah — Somali spiced tea — using a variety of fine whole spices loved and used in every Somali home.

Get down to our free Community Games Night full of laughter and friendly competition on Friday evening featuring all your favourites — Ludo, Jenga, Connect 4 and more — alongside bottomless cups of Ayeeyo’s Blends signature Somali tea.

Saturday is jam-packed – from 2PM, explore our Handling Objects Workshop — a rare chance to get up close and personal with Somali artefacts and treasures from the Culture House collection. Grab a free drink from our live barista bar (while stocks last!) where we’re offering a menu including iced matcha with an Ayeeyo’s Blends twist. Then wander through our art exhibition featuring curated works from young Somali artists (@Gacmahahooy , @149lanets , @Zeim_art & @vvsima) and stay until the evening Sip & Paint session to unwind with creativity, conversation and all the Somali tea you can drink.

Engaging the five senses:

• Taste: traditional Somali tea brewed with Ayeeyo’s Blends spices
• Smell: incense and aromatic room sprays evoking Somali homes
• Sight: art, photography, by Somali creatives and cultural artefacts
• Sound: a curated Somali funk and nostalgia-inspired playlist
• Touch: a handling session with traditional Somali household objects
