About Song Tea & Ceramics
Song Tea & Ceramics is a San Francisco shop at 2120 Sutter Street, opened by Peter Luong in 2013. It is open Wednesday to Sunday, 12 to 5 pm, and ships its full list online. The catalog is short, about 30 loose-leaf teas plus a run of stoneware cups, servers and gaiwans from potters in China, Taiwan and the US.
Luong worked with growers before opening Song, and the shop says it takes a direct role in producing its teas. The oolongs are the core: the May 8 series (Gold, Amber, Dark) shows one tea at three roast levels. Buy May 8 Gold first, then Lishan Green Heart for an unroasted high-mountain comparison.
