Calling all community past, present, and future - a new tea house is on its way! This is the invitation and date for the Grand Opening of La Lune, a new late night, membership-based community tea house in Berkeley! Starting August 1st, we will be located at the Green Yogi Telegraph, a very exciting new partnership with this delightful space.
As this will soon be a seven-days-a-week tea house, we're still looking for some ongoing daily support for those interested in trading 1 shift/week for a membership!
Ongoing support:
Sign up to volunteer here for a regular pulse at the tea house:
https://forms.gle/HbMh8CV4sbqMZ2wM6
Hosting- 1x/week shift (1-6:30 or 6:30-midnight M-F, 2-7 or 7-midnight Sa/Su). This once-a-week trade comes with a premium tea membership and a 20% discount on yoga memberships and packages
Backup hosting- For those who can cover when folks get sick/unavailable. Includes standard membership and discounts on yoga
Cleaning- Frequency unclear, but some more membership trades and yoga discounts available for this
General Manager- A paid position, part time or full time. Unsure on exact timing this will be available, but presently gauging interest!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay okay okay, that's enough of the asks for now- but come August 1st, La Lune will open its doors to the public, kicking off with a Grand Opening! So what's the deal? How will it work?
La Lune is a tea house dedicated in part to sharing space and practice around the Gong Fu style of tea service. Hosts will be available to show you how to make pots of tea, serve tea in this way, and tidy up after ourselves/each other.
2-7pm - Come drink tea and be merry! We'll have expanded lounge space with extra space to drink/serve tea.
7pm-midnight - Live music in the back studio! An outdoor space will be set up to get some fresh air. Potential soup for sale!? Still confirming details. Tea continues all night
$20-40 for the Grand Opening ($10-20 during normal operating days)
Monthly donations (tax deductible) includes entry to the grand opening:
1st tier: $45-55/month (down from $59-69) Includes daily entry with all-you-can-drink tea
2nd tier: $85-95/month (down from $99-109) Includes daily entry, access to premium teas, discounts on purchases, and two free +1s to bring per month
In partnership with Green Yogi, we're able to offer an unlimited yoga + tea membership, as well! Keep on the lookout for that signup link starting Aug 1.
This will be your forever rate as long as you maintain an active membership. Huzzah!
Beyond membership, for those wishing to donate to the cause for our startup or ongoing costs, we're organized as a 501c3 non-profit and all donations will be tax deductible! Monthly membership donations are also tax deductible, and as of 2026, even if taking the standard deduction, up to $1000/year per person can be deducted from your tax bill.
