— What we pour
Rituals brewed slowly,
Rituals brewed slowly,
served with intention.
From hand-whisked matcha to twenty-second gongfu pours, every cup is a conversation between leaf, water, and patience.
Gongfu Flights
Five short infusions of a single oolong or pu-erh, guided by our tea masters in unhurried sequence.
Atelier Blends
Seasonal house compositions — bergamot & cedar in winter, peach & chamomile come summer.

Hand-thrown ware
Our cups and pots are made by three Pacific Northwest ceramicists we've worked with since opening.

No phones, no rush
The atelier is a quiet room. Conversations stay soft, devices stay tucked, time slows down.

Seasonal menus
Our blends and pairings shift four times a year — built around what's freshest from the harvests.

What guests carry home.
"I came in for an hour and stayed three. The matcha service alone is worth the trip across the river — but it's the silence between pours that I remember."
"Their phoenix oolong made me understand tea for the first time. The staff explain everything without ever making you feel uneducated."
"A rare, considered place. Smells like cedar and citrus peel. Feels like the city forgot to follow you in."
