Browse our full range of Chinese teas alongside an evolving curation of handmade ceramics (including some in-store exclusives) from local and international artists.

We focus exclusively on Chinese teas - specifically puerh and other teas from Yunnan. Our tea collection includes raw and ripe puerh; as well as white, black, and oolong tea from other regions such as Fujian and Taiwan.

We also offer teaware suited for gongfucha (工夫茶 gōngfū chá); general tea brewing equipment; functional and decorative tableware; and a selection of larger scale, one-of-one sculptural works. We encourage tactile engagement with these pieces. Feel free to hold, touch, and examine the works - or simply ask us if you're unsure.

Whether you're new to the world of puerh or a lifelong tea drinker, we're more than happy to walk you through our range, provide recommendations, and find the ideal tea for your next session.

We offer casual tea tastings for most of our teas throughout the day on a walk-in basis. Take a seat at our communal tea table or enjoy a cup of what we're currently brewing as you browse. 

Our tea table seats a maximum of 6 guests at a time. During busy periods we cannot guarantee seating availability and there may be a wait time if you wish to take part in the next tea tasting session. 

We also offer private tea tasting sessions by appointment only. Private sessions are an ideal option for individuals and groups (of up to 6 people) interested in tasting multiple specific teas - including teas from our archive - with exclusive reservation of our tea table, personal in-store guidance, a tailored brewing experience, and no interruptions.
