Gongfu Tea Big Meet Up Downtown!

Hello, Gongfu tea community!
We’re excited to kick off another gathering of 2026 on Saturday, February 7th at Wild Ginger Downtown Seattle! Exact details and navigation information will be shared with registered attendees closer to the event.
This meetup is meant to be a relaxed, social celebration of gong fu cha and the joy of tea, while giving everyone a chance to mingle, connect, and get to know our wonderful community.

About Our Gatherings:
These meetups are intended to be social with celebrating gong fu cha and the wonder of teas while getting to know the community! If you’re interested in more intentional tea practice, we will also be having smaller gatherings designed to be more intentional and present with tea. This includes practicing techniques, tools, special teas, and more mindful brewing. Anyone is welcome to join these focused gatherings after attending one of the bigger events like this one!

How You Can Participate:
To help make our meetups fun and collaborative:

• We welcome volunteers to brew tea! Whether you’re experienced or brand new and curious to try, you’re warmly encouraged to brew.
• Bringing tea or tea ware is appreciated but not required. If you have something you’d love to share, wonderful — if not, simply bring yourself.
• Bring your own tea cup! It helps us keep things organized since paper cups tend to get mixed up or misplaced.

And as always, we’re all here to learn together. If you’re unfamiliar with gong fu cha brewing, we’re happy to teach — and we’d love to learn from others as well!
Please reach out with any questions, and we look forward to a great year of tea in 2026!

This event will have a hard stop at 1:00 PM so we will probably start to wrap up at around 12:45 PM.
Also, it's a good idea to eat something beforehand, as a lot of tea can be unpleasant on an empty stomach.
