About
The Way of Tea is an intimate tea sitting, where guests will participate in gong fu cha style service — tea and conversation. Guests are invited to slow down for a two-hour immersive exploration of tea, where tea is experienced as both craft and ritual. These tastings are designed to feel approachable, thoughtful, and community-oriented, supported by the calm and intentional atmosphere of our daytime lounge.
October: A hands on introduction to matcha, exploring its history, traditions, and the craft of preparing and whisking your own bowl of usucha (thin tea). Discover how elements of Japanese tea practice can become part of your own home ritual.
No prior experience needed. All tea and tools are provided.
Each tasting reservation includes full access to Daylight Hours. Choose your session time, and feel free to linger in our lounge between 10a and 3p.
Arrival & Timing
Please arrive within the first 15 minutes of your session. The tea tasting begins promptly. If you arrive after the tasting has begun, we may not be able to pause or repeat portions of the experience.
We invite you to give yourself enough time to arrive, settle in, and be present before we begin. Since the tasting is a shared experience, arriving on time helps us honor the time and presence of everyone in the room.
