Who We Are

Asian Cultural Heritage Exchange Association (ACHEA) is a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit that brings tea, calligraphy, traditional arts and living heritage into libraries, cities, workplaces and communities. ACHEA approaches cultural heritage as a living practice rather than a distant tradition, creating ways for people to taste, make, hear and share culture together.

Since 2024, that work has grown from community tea circles in San José to public programs at the San Francisco Public Library, Lunar New Year celebrations in Sunnyvale and A Century of Qipao, where tea and textile heritage met contemporary design.
