Golden Wake Tea is a small, Oakland-born tea company with a wild imagination and a deep respect for tradition. We source and serve extraordinary loose-leaf teas, all of which come directly from the legendary David Lee Hoffman of The Phoenix Collection, one of the world’s most respected tea importers and advocates of artisanal, sustainably grown tea.

At Golden Wake Tea, we believe tea is more than a beverage … it’s a ritual, a connection, and sometimes even a spiritual experience. Whether you’re a seasoned tea head or just discovering what oolong is, we welcome you into a space where quality, curiosity, and vibe matter.

We’re all about ethically sourced, handpicked leaves, community, conversation, and creativity.

Our teas will be available in California (online and at selected shops and events) soon. Until then, follow us on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube, and check out our staff picks for the cutest tea supplies.
