JULY 2026 SESSIONS

One seating on select weekdays and weekends (9.30am - 11.30am)
Dates: July 11, 16. 19, 25, 30.
Quiet Mornings, our masterclass of sorts, is a deep-dive into the minutiae of cultivation and craft as we cup and share freshly brewed pots of Song tea. Hosted by Song’s founder and tea buyer, Peter Luong, guests gather around our front table in the before the shop opens and the sun has fully filled our little space, lighting up walls of tea ware, and shining canisters of loose leaf tea.
After a two month hiatus, Peter returns in July to present Song's new flagship oolongs, named after their harvest date. Formerly April 27, now May 8, we've always carried two iterations of this tea. This year we're adding a third variation of the harvest. And as a treat unique to July Quiet Mornings guests, Peter will be sharing a handful of leaves he grabbed straight from the production floor just after kill green. Kept frozen since then, these leaves are the closest you can get to experiencing tea production at it's full midnight swing, without a trip to Taiwan. As always, repeat Quiet Morning's guests welcome!
