Our Shop is located in Russian Hill along the Hyde Street cable car line. A place for contemplation, conversation, working, and winding down, our tearoom blends contemporary style with traditional furnishings.
May Hung, the heart of dynasTEA, personally selects the teas during regular trips to the Fujian Province of southeastern China. May‘s passion for tea imbues her careful preparation of each brew and her interaction with customers.
Our Mission is to share an age-old tradition with a new generation. Through our use of traditional serving cups and teapots and our selection of fine-grade whole-leaf teas, we aim to share with our customers the joy of drinking tea in the authentic Chinese manner. Our approach emphasizes paying attention to the subtleties of preparation, fragrance, and flavor.

Our uncapitalized us is not a typo but rather an acknowledgment of our relative insignificance. Since its beginnings, tea drinking has been about reconnecting with nature and reminding ourselves of our relatively small role in a much bigger story.
