Floating Mountain

For the first time in ten years, we are taking a short break — I’ll be in Peru for my birthday ✨

The Teahouse will be closed:
May 12 – May 19

When I return, new hours:

Monday – Thursday: 2pm – 8pm
Friday – Saturday: 12pm – 8pm
Sunday: 12pm – 5pm
Tuesday - closed.

SSometimes, on an ordinary commute, you glance through a window… and the world forgets to be ordinary for a moment ✨ !

Same place, different vibes.
Which one is your fav?

Yesterday was International Dog Day!
…just kidding 😂
We simply had a couple of exceptionally well-behaved four-legged guests 🫠 *tzulovers

The conversation after the ceremony is almost always the most rewarding part.

Where there is curiosity, there is possibility — and something about that feels endlessly fascinating 🫶

Weekend highlights ⭐️

Floating Mountain is looking for two special humans to join our small tea crew this summer.

Part-time (12–16 hrs/week), afternoons and evenings.
Love of tea and a good eye for cleanliness are essential.

If this feels like you, let’s talk. 🍃

Two sides of my life.
The moving, loud, city-facing side.
And the silent, slow, solitary side at home.

I love them both. I need them both.
Each gives meaning to the other.

How many lives do you live?

Most ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews we receive mention the serene, calming environment along with the high quality tea.
Yet some days can be loud and chaotic, and no amount of tea can smooth them. On those days I remind myself that life is a series of waves that come and go.
Silence would never be known if chaos and noise did not exist.

Tea in an empty conference room… it is possible. And in fact, it’s actually very lovely.
Thank you to the Disney Entertainment Television Photo Department for welcoming me today. It was a joy to pause together for hot tea and conversation. I hope it brought a small breath of calm into the middle of a busy workday and offered something good in return. 💛☕

Snow or no snow —
on March 5th the sun reaches the position known in China as “Insects Awaken.”

And we are ready to welcome them 💛

The orchid already knows.
