Our offerings

From a single tea bar to the whole event.

Gongfu tea bar with floor cushion seating

Our signature offering

Gongfu Tea Bar

An intimate tea bar serving around eight guests at a time, with floor seating and minimal decor. A raised table with stools is available where a more accessible option is desired.

For larger events, we can run ten or more bars concurrently — scaling the same unhurried experience to any crowd.

Tea tasting bar with a lineup of gourmet teas and to-go cups

Tea Tasting Bar with Tea To-Go

Guests sample a curated selection of gourmet teas served gongfu style — with the option to take a paper cup to go.

Japanese matcha ceremony — whisking matcha in a bowl

Specialized Tea & Drink Ceremonies

Traditional ceremonies from around the world: Japanese matcha, Moroccan tea, Turkish coffee, Latin American cacao, Pacific Islands kava, and more.

Self-serve tea station with hot water dispensers and paper cups

Self-Serve Tea Station

A simple self-serve station for your event or office: gourmet tea bags, hot water, paper cups, condiments, and stirrers. We set it up — and can return on a schedule to service and replenish it.

Cozy tea room with shelves of tea tins and a tea tray

Permanent Tea Rooms

We design and build permanent tea rooms for residences, businesses, and other institutions — handling the full interior, from furnishings and decor to teaware.

Produced event with stage, lighting, and a dancing crowd

Full-Service Event Production

We produce large events across the Bay Area and can help with most aspects of production: event management, branding and design, decor and custom themes, sound and stage, live music and performers, catering, and more.
