Tea ceremonies in Japan emerged during times of instability and uncertainty—when stillness was not a luxury, but a necessity. A way to return to the present, to sit, and to be.

We carry that spirit forward—offering tea as a space for attention and presence. A place to slow down, and to be here.

Open Tea

Tuesday - Sunday
10am-5pm

Reservations encouraged
Walk-ins welcome

Tea is served throughout the day in a steady meditative rhythm. Each seating offers a few directions led by our tea guides—choose, or simply follow. Always familiar, with something new to notice.

Each Open Tea seating is $30 per guest, all-inclusive, for unlimited steepings for up to 90 minutes. We are a no-tipping establishment.

A Guided Evening Tea Experience

Each gathering is shaped by a changing theme and the teas being served. A gentle social element is present—conversation may arise, or not. Each evening is distinct, unfolding in its own way.
