About us
We source rare tea and handcrafted ceramics of exceptional quality and character. We work directly with producers at origin.
Each year, we assemble a collection of traditional, rare and experimental tea from China and Taiwan. We look for skillfully crafted leaves from clean growing regions – teas with structure, texture, and complexity. More importantly, every tea in the collection is delicious.
Our ceramics come from Taiwan, China and the United States. We collaborate directly with artists, looking for pieces that show mastery of material and technique, and that echo our aesthetic. Each piece is beautiful to look at and wonderful to use.
Tastings @ Song
We offer reserved tastings experiences called Quiet Mornings @ Song every month. These experiences are scheduled and reserved ahead of time. To be notified when new dates are released, please subscribe to our newsletter.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer ad hoc tea tastings during retail hours, but our knowledgeable team are available to answer any questions you have, and assist you in finding teas.
Online tea tastings are available for groups of 12 or more. Please send an inquiry, along with the number of people in your party to hello@songtea.com. Online tastings include boxed kits for participants, and must be scheduled at least one month in advance.
In the meantime, please visit us in person! The Song studio is open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 12 - 5. Come by, browse, and ask questions! We are always happy to talk tea.
Let us bring our tea to you!
