PEX Tea Lab

 

A cracked team of scientists conduct research to support the global domination of the Burning Man Industrial complex at the Pex Tea Lab. Using the sacred, spiritual, and medicinal qualities of herbal and caffeinated teas, then an application of the talking cure, they will loosen, then probe the minds of their human subjects, searching for the next generation of research on gathering together, gifting, loving, and burning things down.

Our camp is a small team of experienced burners who will run a tea house for one morning shift and two evening shifts each day of the festival. The theming will be using the geodesic dome structure as a touch point to play with the idea of futurist scientific inquiry and the now ubiquity of questions about the spread of alternative consciousness and mass festival movements. We will theme inside and out to support a 1950s hard science lab theme, and our servers will role play as if they are doing a bit of research to find out what the best medicine is for the person, ie variety of tea. Once the person is served, the servers will continue to role play on behavior research and futurist discussion topics.

We will serve one morning shift of tea and two evening shifts. Possibly more, if others want to participate and serve.

We also plan to do a roving tea lab, serving cold beverages during the day and hot beverages at night.
