Yelpers at T-We’s Kiki

Wonderful event! Thanks for thinking of the Unilocalers who don’t make it out to events all that often. This was very nicely put together and a more intimate event for more people to get to know each other. T-​We is such a cute little tea shop, and I loved the peach tea and vodka combo drink. The cute socks courtesy of Unilocal will come in handy on the chilly SF days. Thanks for making this happen Jon!

Small-​scaled YEE compared to what I’m familiar with and first SF YEE, but a nice change of scenery. Main thing that bugged me was that there wasn’t much to do or many people to converse with, so most people only stayed an hour (if even that long). Any longer and it would have been more awkward.
This cute little shop is located on the 2^nd floor of Crocker Galleria. Owners are super friendly and creative about naming their specialty teas. They had tea cups arranged on a glass table for sample sniffing. Options are «Chai This» or «Chai That.» I’m sure «Sexpot» also gets a lot of second glances. Absolutely love the names, scents, and décor!
Drinks for the event included Hipsters in Wonderland mixed with Tito Vodka or Dolores Day mixed with PBR. The first had too much ice for me to enjoy the drink, while the second had a subtle sweet taste to it. Definitely preferred the latter. Would’ve loved to sample more of the huge variety of tea, but the only ones already brewed were: Sexpot or Flailing Princess.
I’m still no tea connoisseur, but this was a nice sampling experience. Thanks Keir, Christopher, Jessica, and staff!

Thanks so much to everyone who helped put this event together. I really enjoyed the experience, and it was great to meet you all!
From my T-​We review:
I’ve never been a big tea drinker, and I’m definitely going back to T-​We Tea.
The team that works there were fantastic hosts. I worked near Crocker Galleria for over a year (as a lot of us in finance do), and I would have loved to have stopped by here on a stressful afternoon for some zen from people that love what they do. Their teas are not only hilariously named (but do stop to appreciate them before you make your selection), but they are some of the best I’ve ever had. The iced peach tea was exactly what I needed.
San Francisco has all kinds of love for beer, wine and coffee, but T-​We just might prove that tea should get some of your adoration too. Hope to see you there!

The event here was pretty rad. Before I even walked in, I was impressed by the Golden Gate Bridge constructed out of tea boxes. I knew I was in for a SF-​themed tea shop, but I had no idea to what extent.
The shandy with Dolores Day mixed with PBR was surprisingly delightful. I’ll absolutely be making a few of those in the future. I love how so many of the teas had San Francisco-​themed names. It’s makes them that much more special and unique.
Christopher really knows tea, but isn’t pretentious about it. He was so helpful and really wanted everybody to have a great experience. The shop is a bit small, but it was pretty packed, and I don’t anticipate it to ever be that crowded for my future visits.
I can’t want to go back and try some of the other green and whites I didn’t get a chance to sample.

Wonderful event! Loved the fact that Jessica welcomed me so warmly and knew my name right when I walked in the door. I thought I’d be too early but it was nice to mingle with the early birds and get to know each other better.
This was my first invited Unilocal event and I think the petite venue was the ideal atmosphere for a more intimate event for 20 or so people. Of course, you can’t go wrong with Unilocal swag: some socks, mints and lip balm always make any party more exciting.
Chris, the certified tea specialist, had a couple of concoctions for us to try out including the Dolores Day which mixed shandy and PBR and then another one with Tito Vodka and tea. I preferred the latter but my friend preferred the shandy. Would have loved to sample more of the teas laying out on the table instead of just sniffing them :)
I recently discovered teavana but I would definitely come back to T-We’s to try more of their blended options.
Thanks for inviting me and I can’t wait to climb up the ranks so that I can meet more SF foodies!

What a pleasant, exclusive, taste-​testing tea event to spend the evening with fellow Unilocalers!
I love the warm ambiance and décor of this small tea shop. Not only was the place decked out with a variety of colorful tea boxes, the tea names are creative, such as Chai This, Chai Me and Chai That.
The get together felt intimate and the theme was simple.
T-​We delivers a contemporary, fun concept to tea tasting, indeed. I enjoyed the flavors, the chit chat and the outing!
Thank you for the wonderful event!
