What you'll do

Discover the art of slowing down in this peaceful and grounding Tea & Mindfulness workshop in San Francisco. Designed to help calm the overstimulated mind, this experience blends tea ritual with practical mindfulness techniques to cultivate connection, clarity, and inner stillness.

In a welcoming and relaxed setting, you’ll explore how simple, intentional practices—like preparing and enjoying a cup of tea—can bring mindfulness into everyday life. We'll guide you through accessible tools, mindful conversation, and grounding rituals to support your personal practice.

By the end of the class, you will not only have new knowledge about the history of tea and how it is made, but personal practices of relaxation and mindfulness. Take home a bag of quality loose-leaf tea to continue your journey of mindful self-discovery through the art of tea.

Quote by Thich Nhat Hanh

"Tea is an act complete in its simplicity. When I drink tea, there is only me and the tea. The rest of the world dissolves. There are no worries about the future. No dwelling on past mistakes. Tea is simple: loose-leaf tea, hot pure water, a cup. I inhale the scent, tiny delicate pieces of the tea floating above the cup. I drink the tea, the essence of the leaves becoming a part of me. I am informed by the tea, changed. This is the act of life, in one pure moment, and in this act, the truth of the world suddenly becomes revealed: all the complexity, pain, drama of life is a pretense, invented in our minds for no good purpose. There is only the tea, and me, converging."

What you'll get

A bag of loose leaf tea worth $20.

5/5 from Henrik Lee, attended May 2026: First and foremost, Jody is great at communicating and arranging the logistics, coming out to help us celebrate in Dublin, CA. The tea and mindfulness workshop is a fantastic experience, least of all because of Jody's fascinating stories about his adventures in sourcing teas from around the world. This felt like your favorite homeroom class and had it all - flavor wheel for describing the tea, show and tell from a book, flowing conversation, and Q&A about all things tea. Sitting around a few tables and hanging out with friends over different types of expertly steeped teas is an amazing way to usher in a new year.
5/5 from Bernadette Choudhary, attended Mar 2026: We were a team from Blue Shield CA, and it was the perfect team building experience! It was an opportunity for connection, reflection, learning and tasting. Along with the tea tasting, the facilitator provides a global lens and educates us on an array of topics such as the history of tea, tea manufacturing, different teas, tea as self-care and a practice of mindfulness. Highly recommend!
5/5 from Alvin Rentsch, attended Feb 2026: I recently participated in a Chinese Tea and Mindfulness course and it was truly superb. The program beautifully combined the art of tea preparation through the gongfu cha ceremony with mindfulness practice. We explored five different teas, each with its own origin and story, while learning to be fully present through every step — from steeping and serving to tasting.Our instructor was exceptional — patient, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable. She fostered meaningful conversations about both the history and the mindful aspects of tea culture, creating a warm and welcoming environment. I came away with a deeper appreciation not only for tea but for the meditative practice behind it.I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in mindfulness or Chinese tea traditions, and I look forward to seeing it expanded in the future!
5/5 from Noah Youngs, attended Jul 2025: Absolutely stellar experience. Your relationship to tea will never be the same!

In Chinese tea ceremony, known as Gong Fu Cha (often translated as brewing tea with skill), when someone fills your tea cup, you tap twice on the tea table to offer gratitude. This is the source of our name: Tap Twice Tea. We formed in 2013 in the Mission District out of a love for tea and the community around tea drinking. At first, we only wanted to find good tea to share at tea gatherings with our fellow tea lovers, but that desire lead us to eventually begin traveling to tea farms throughout Asia to source the very best tea we could find and create a company out of it. We love teaching about the history of tea, how it is produced, tasting the different varieties, and showing folks how to brew the perfect cup. Let's taste some incredible tea together!
