One Saturday each month we will open our doors for additional evening hours to gather over tea and activities. Each month will bring a new theme. Join us for an evening of tea brewing, exploration, and connection with our tea community.
The $25 fee will cover any / as much tea from our menu of your choice. Since it's a communal gathering where others will also be choosing teas, this is a fun opportunity to taste a variety of teas from our menu with the tea community.
Aug. 30th | 5:30–7:30 PM | Doors open at 5:15 PM
Ancient Tea and Music Presented by Hydraulica: An evening of sensory awakening through tea and sound.
5:30-7:30pm Tea brewing & exploration with tea community.
Special Master Wang Pu-erh collection will be brewed by his son Anoah Wang. (not the same pu-erhs are sold at Teance)
6:30-7:15pm Sip the tea in your hands and listen to Hydraulica’s performance.
Here is one of Anoah's music: SPIRIT (Official Music Video)
Join us at Teance for a special evening of tea and music, where tradition meets creative exploration. Hydraulica is a long-dreamed family project brought to life—a musical collaboration rooted in the mission to “hydrate America” and help people reconnect with their senses through presence, stillness, and flow.
For this debut performance, Hydraulica will present a 30-minute instrumental set inspired by the ancient tea music traditions of Yunnan, China—featuring tones reminiscent of the guqin, zither, and other traditional instruments. These timeless sounds will be reimagined through a Bay Area lens, blending meditative atmospheres with grounded studio production to create a new kind of sound: music meant to be steeped in.
Much like the yoga sessions at Grace Cathedral that are accompanied by live sound, this performance is crafted to serve tea drinkers—inviting listeners into deeper presence with each sip. It’s not just a concert, it’s a tea ceremony in sound.
We invite you to share this experience with us—part ritual, part performance—as we explore what it means to listen, taste, and awaken. ~ Anoah Wang
