Closing out 2025 with gratitude and a long overdue introduction. Thank you to everyone who has come to our events and shown support throughout this year.

We never would have imagined our beverages like the Tito Arnold, our black tea mixed with a housemade calamansi Thai basil syrup, or our hojicha sourced from Fukuoka would be so well received.

More than anything else, we are grateful for this community that has welcomed us with warmth, curiosity and a shared love of tea.

edible installations of giant flower crackers and dips to pair

surprising bites inspired by flavors of spring, with our kadayif bird’s nest with tofu cream and lacto-fermented kumquats from the garden featured here

no rules other than to be curious, playful, engage all senses for the afternoon, immersed in the beautiful @olivewoodgardens space

@drinkeste provided amazing seasonal tea mocktails, and @daysfullof complimented our food with her beautiful floral design

Afternoon Tea Lounge, an invitation to slow down. 🍵

We’re excited to start this next season of gatherings exploring new collaborations, starting with our friends @drinkeste.

When we thought about slowing down, we immediately thought of the art of tea, how intentional each step is. The pour, the steep, the first sip. There’s a quiet ritual in it that the rest of our day rarely allows.

Which is the main inspiration behind Afternoon Tea Lounge, an afternoon with nowhere to be but here, nothing pulling you away, and every reason to savor the moment.

Expect unlimited pours of specialty teas sourced directly from Japan, small bites including handmade mochi, conversation cards, self-guided origami, and as always a phone-free space to just... be. Bring a book, a journal, a friend, or just yourself.

Spots are limited and intentionally so. This one is meant to be small, cozy, and unhurried.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀᴛᴄʜᴀ ʟᴀᴛᴛᴇ. For many, this is their first introduction to Japanese tea. We are happy to share we will now have matcha suitable for lattes available for both retail and wholesale by early December.

Currently we have a very limited stock of Okumidori matcha which can be purchased during our events. This offering is available as a tin but if you stop by our event on 11/22 @pizzakaijusd, you can order this matcha as part of our “for here” menu. Our Okumidori matcha was sourced from Fukuoka during our very first origin trip this spring. It’s nutty, balanced and deliciously smooth.

Our signature Hoji-chata: a homemade Salvadoran-style horchata with hojicha. Salvadoran-style horchata is made from a variety of seeds, spices, and rice. In our homemade horchata, we substitute peanuts for hazelnuts and use Japanese sweet rice. What really sets Salvadoran-style horchata apart is the use of morro, which has been described as having a molasses-like sweetness. Mixed with our Yame hojicha, known for its caramelized and nutty notes, the result is a pleasantly comforting drink! (P.S. if you’d like an off menu item available only @pizzakaijusd, ask for it steamed! We’re happy to accommodate).

Date: 11/22
Hours: 10am-2pm
Where: 1985 National Avenue 1115 @pizzakaiju
