At 30c3 & 31c3 (German CCC Congress, 2013-12 and 2014-12) and Ohm (Dutch Hacker Camp, 2013-08), La Quadrature organized a chilling-out space, the Quadra Tea House.

This wiki page aim at defining how this space works, how we organize it etc.

Tea Organization

What we need for the teahouse :

  • Tea (both with and without theine/caffeine)
    • Black tea
    • Blue tea
    • Green tea
    • Roibos
    • Mate
    • A little bit of rare version of those for connaisseurs (a dedicated page should be created for tea listing / memory / where we found them)
    • Infusions
  • Tea Cups (our small black teacups are nice, we need a hundreed of them, count 10 per table + 5 per table as a buffer waiting for cleaning)
  • Tea Pots (One per table + 1 or 2 every 4 tables, as a buffer waiting for cleaning)
  • Tea Filters (One per tea pot)
  • Kettles (2 times 4 Liters kettle at least)
  • Vacuum Bottles to keep the hot water at each table (1 per tea pot)
  • 2 Jerrycan for the water supply
  • 3 Basins for the washing-up
    • One for the dishes buffer waiting to be cleaned,
    • One for the cleaning of dishes
    • One to rince dishes on hot water
    • A table to do the washing up with space to let the teacups dry
  • Soap for the washing-up
  • Tea Towels to dry the dishes
  • More Tea towels, to dry the tables (4 to 8 per table depending on the number of day the teahouse will operate)
  • One bin per table (small metal coffee pot)

Tea House Process

  • One Plastified, simplified, tea master instruction manual per table + 2 more just in case (link to original document needed here)
    • TODO: make it contain FAR LESS TEXT than the first version
    • Tell explicitely that only 2 to 4 cm of tea shall be put in the filter, and that most tea can be infused 2 times, even 4 or 5 for some.
  • Two Plastified pages showing the process of washing-up (TODO)
  • One plastified page per step in the washing-up (TODO, "Dirty dishes here", "Clean Here", "Rince Here")
  • A list of people volounteering as Tea Masters or Tea Helpers, before the event.


Tea House Building

  • Tables (wood circle around 1.5 meters diameter, 4 black metal feet, 4 screws and bolts per foot)
  • Fabric, 2 to 4 colors, 20 to 50 meters depending on the size and location, may need to be ignifugated M1.
  • Lamps, Led Strips, Power cords (a lot of them, with extension cords)
  • A sound system (amplifier, mixing table, 2 loudspeakers, or 4, cables, audio adapters, microphone)
  • A public computer with music not needing online access
  • Small (A5) Plastified papers with only "Tea House, LQDN" and a kettle drawing, to attach them everywhere in the Tea House and on the Fabric
  • Corks and a bunch of clamping collars (black heavy duty model and smaller one)

Tea House promotion

  • Flyers talking about the TeaHouse 24/7 service,
  • Flyers talking about LQDN & Friends
  • Stickers with the PI Logo where the PI is a Kettle instead ? ;)
