Seasonal Tastings

Seasonal Tea Tastings showcase what we are most excited about at the moment, or teas that we find special value in tasting alongside one another.

These menus change as we receive new teas, fresh harvests and seasonal releases.

Seasonal Tasting Menu July 2026

First Harvest Green

$45 per person

With First Harvest we encounter tea leaves in their infancy, and appreciate them for it: for their great concentration of energy, and the briefness that they are in this state. This tasting offers an experience of the freshest and most fleeting tea of the year.

Huoqing "Fire Jade"

High Mountain Green

Rare Teas from Yunnan

New Rare Green Teas

This tasting features newly arrived green teas from 3 different remote producing regions in China. An excellent comparative tasting that showcases less common green teas, in which pristine terroir and masterful craftsmanship come together to very unique ends.

During the tasting you will learn about where the teas you are drinking are from, how they are crafted, how to distinguish their particular characteristics, and how to taste for terroir.

The tea will be properly prepared and served, giving you an opportunity to taste each tea developed through many infusions and experience how preparation method affects it.

Seasonal tastings are between 45 minutes and an hour long, during which our entire tea bar will be dedicated to your group. We are able to host 1 to 6 guests at a time.
