Tea and Meditation

Tea in Wonderland: 

A Mindful Immersive Tea Ceremony Experience in San Francisco

By the Gregangelo Museum

Somewhere between a forgotten childhood dream and the edge of a whispered myth

there’s a door you didn’t know you were waiting to open.

It isn’t marked

It doesn’t need to be

It’s felt

in the hush of anticipation

in the scent of rare tea steeping through the walls

in the quiet rustle of leaves being read like maps of the soul

This is Tea in Wonderland

a living ritual nestled in the hidden heart of the Gregangelo Museum

one of San Francisco’s most unusual landmarks

where nothing is quite as it seems

and everything is more than it appears

Led by Kai-Kenny and Yshel

the alchemists behind Fabula Tea

this is no ordinary tea tasting

It is a tea experience

a tea ritual

a healing journey dressed in whimsy and brewed in mystery

It is gong fu cha reimagined

A tea ceremony unraveled and rewoven for the seekers of today

Yes

there are leaves

Yes

there is water

Yes

there is warmth cradled in porcelain

But there is also silence

Story

Touchstones

Laughter

And the quiet feeling of something inside you beginning to shift

One drink makes you smaller

One drink makes you tall

But the tea in this experience

Does more than one can recall

This is tea as meditation

as personal growth

as escape room

if the escape is inward

if the clues are symbolic

if the puzzle is you

An Ancient Ritual Uprooted and Replanted

Fabula’s teas come from ancient forests

from trees older than memory

They are harvested with reverence and pressed into delicious bars 

Every package carries original artwork

spellwork

and intention

a visual sip of the sacred

But tradition

here

is not a cage

Kai-Kenny and Yshel do not perform old ceremonies like museum relics

They play with them

With respect

with depth

and with delight

They invite you to engage

not just observe

To steep

not just sip

To become a part of the ceremony

not merely a witness to it

Each gathering is different

Each room a portal

Each guest a co-creator of the experience

Some have called it a tea meditation

Others

a healing experience

One guest said

“It felt like falling through a mirror into a version of myself I hadn’t met before. The tea wasn’t just warm. It was wise.”

Testimonial: The Man at the Portal of Forgotten Songs

He arrived composed

quiet eyes

shoulders held tight

a man of few words and many walls

At the third portal

a question waited in silence and steam

“What dream have you forgotten?

What song still sleeps in your bones?”

He sipped the tea

And something softened

Not just in his face

but in his soul

“This… reminds me of my mother”

he whispered

as his eyes welled with quiet tears

The stillness cracked

His breath deepened

The quiet man began to speak

layer by layer

memory by memory

as the tea carried him inward

The tea leaf reading at the end wasn’t just an ending

it was a soft landing into himself

 More Guest Reflections

“This was the strangest and most beautiful tea event I’ve ever experienced. It wasn’t just a tasting. It was a journey through myself”

“I’ve never had tea like this. The flavors were rich

but it was the spirituality

the storytelling

the way it made me feel safe and seen

that’s what I’ll remember”

“We came expecting a performance. What we found was a sanctuary. It felt like the tea was listening to us just as much as we were listening to it”

 The Wonderland Within

This is not an Alice in Wonderland escape room

it is the room that Alice might find after she wakes

A dream still clinging to her hair

the scent of meditative tea still on her breath

The garden is real

The mirrors speak

The symbols shift

Tea in Wonderland isn’t an act

It’s a threshold

A rare space in San Francisco to remember the sacredness of pause

A moment to sip the alchemy of leaves

time and presence

A ceremony for those who have forgotten how sacred it is to slow down
