Morning Tastings @ Song
The fog that covers our coastal city makes the days start slowly, wrapping around us in a woolly blanket of grey. We lean into these qualities in our San Francisco studio, gradually bringing up the lights, setting a kettle to boil, running a finger across the canisters of tea in search of the perfect accompaniment to our mood.
Mornings are time of reflection, and unfurling - both the twisted leaves of tea in piping hot water, and our minds and bodies as the sun slowly seeps through the windows and across the floor. Quiet Mornings at Song offers us the opportunity to share this liminal space with you, and to embrace community over pots of freshly brewed tea.
Join Song’s founder, Peter Luong in an intimate group tasting, here at Song. We’ll gather near the glow of the windows, brewing, sipping, and discussing the origins, flavors, and stories of a changing series of curated teas, as the day outside begins its slow unfolding.
Session Schedule & Reservations
Quiet Mornings at Song vary by session. Twice each month we offer a Introduction to Tea tasting that focuses on the fundamentals of cultivar, craft, and tea traditions. This is tailored for guests new to tea drinking and discovery, or those wishing to deepen their understanding of tea types and industry practices.
The remaining sessions feature a rotating assortment of teas, curated around around a topic and theme. These tastings reflect the seasons, responding to harvest and roasting dates as they arise, and reflecting the teas and traditions that pique our curiosity and inspire further investigation. Each month we'll vary the theme of the teas we brew together so that each time you join us, there will be something new to discover. New themes will be announced monthly via newsletter. All are welcome.
Topical sessions are limited to 6 guests. Introduction to Tea sessions are limited to 8 guests. To reserve, please search for available dates and book through Tock.
