Welcome to Wai's Gong Fu Tea House

“ Wai Gong Fu Tea House was such a vibe!! We learned so much and it was such a beautiful and unique experience. Some things we learned: ⭐Each tea has a different steeping time. ⭐ Traditional tea will taste different depending on what vessel you drink it out of, similar to wine. ⭐ In China you have to be University educated to own a tea house. ⭐ Tea bag tea would be frowned upon in traditional tea countries, like serving McDonald's as a traditional meal. Everything was a highlight, we learned so much and consumed so much tea. Our instructor was wonderful and we felt like we not only I got a history but cultural lesson at our visit. If you are interested in a traditional tea ceremony, not tea and cake this is your place to learn and enjoy. We will definitely be back and revisit to get amazing tea. #teahouse #atlantablogger #teatradition #teaceremony #learningthroughplay #fun #newexperiences #atlantafinds #internationallearning #atlantathingstodo #somethingnew #somethingdifferent #atlantanights #foodiegrams #foodiereels #foodblogger ##bestofatlanta #decemberphotochallenge #celebration ”

“ My friends and husband had a great time and I was very impressed with the tea and the knowledge, skill, and personality of Amy who hosted our experience!! She was phenomenal! She kept the whole group engaged and involved, was gracious and friendly, and brewed every single steep beautifully. I can tell she has a very real appreciation and respect for the craft. The tea quality was wonderful and the wood table was gorgeous! It was a true joy to be there today. ”

“ I absolutely love everything about this place. Amy is so incredibly knowledgeable and has a wonderfully warm personality. The Gong fu tea experience was such a pleasure, and served as a much needed brain reset. The teas are high quality, delicious, and generously portioned for their prices. The serving wares are all stunningly beautiful and well made. While the location is very much tucked away in a quiet little corner, I feel like that lends more to the quiet intentionality of going there, instead of the busy hustle and bustle it might have if it was on a main drag somewhere. All around, I can't wait to go back. ”

“ We had a wonderful experience here. We took the class to learn how to make tea. We made black and green tea and it was the best black and green tea we had ever had. This is a completely different experience from any green or black tea you have ever had before I almost guarantee you. It actually made me realize why people drink black and green tea. If you say you don’t like plain green and black tea, that’s what I said too until today. If you decide to take the class, forget everything you know about tea.. it was all a lie. Wayne provided us with so much information we had no idea about. This would be an amazing thing to do with a group. If you decide to do this ask Wayne about his travels he has some amazing stories. After we left we were sitting at dinner and realized we all felt amazing after drinking the tea so we came back and decided to purchase some tea as well as a tea making set to share this experience with some family members who live out of state for Mother’s Day. Amy was very helpful in helping us pick out everything we wanted and needed. From their first hand personal knowledge from their time in china to their genuine passion both Wayne and Amy make coming in a fantastic experience for any customer. There is an incredible selection of teas as well as tea cups and sets and everything you might need. If you have the time I highly recommend taking the class to learn how to make the tea yourself you will definitely get your moneys worth or even just going to one of their tea tastings. If you are a local or simply in the Atlanta area this is a must go in my opinion. ”

“ The Traditional Gong Fu Tea Experience at Wai’s Gong Fu Tea House was fantastic. Amy was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel welcoming and intentional. We learned a lot, felt completely at ease, and left genuinely excited to come back again. A special place that we’re happy to support—highly recommend. ”

“ I love this place. I was introduced to this place by a friend for a meet-up, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the people. This a little hidden gem for all true connoisseurs of tea. Our host, Amy, is amazing. Her love and knowledge of tea are evident as she presents the different teas. You'll learn more than enough about tea during her presentation. It's a great outing for a group. After the presentation, you are welcome to purchase the tea that was presented or others. Fair warning, this is a tea house, and as the name suggests, they serve tea and only tea. Either come with a full stomach or be prepared to go eat somewhere afterward. Amy suggested Food Terminal, which was not a disappointment. So do yourself a favor and go book a session with Amy. ”

“ Attended a special Puer tea cake opening last night. It was out of this world delicious. I received a sample from this special tasting facilitated by Sifu Wayne. You must come to see one of my favorite places in the world. ”

“ Best authentic tea house in Atlanta. They make you feel incredibly welcome the minute you enter their doors. You pay for what you drink, no tax and no tip (not sure if you can still leave one or not). They spend about an hour with you sharing their love and knowledge for the teas they offer. You sit at a 700+ year old tree stump that's had fountains added to it which adds to the calming/soothing environment. I can't speak more highly of this tea house. And Amy is just an absolute delight. She's so welcoming and kind, and so too are all other staff I've interacted with thus far. They also have a wide array of curated tea sets and supplies for beginners and others you can choose to purchase. ”
