Wai's Gong Fu Tea House

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.

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.

If you appreciate diverse traditions and want a new experience, then Wai's Gong Fu Tea House is a must-visit -- whether you love tea or not. Their Monday evening tea tasting was a memorable palette pleasing and informative experience. And if you've ever wanted to learn to play the game GO, you can learn alongside avid players of all levels. It was a fantastic, unique way to spend the evening--great for a solo night out, date night, or small group outing. We had so much fun!

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. I recently stumbled across this place a little over a month ago, and I have been back six times since then. You can tell that the staff genuinely love tea and care about sharing the experience with others. It’s such a privilege to experience. In addition, the entire atmosphere is so calming and relaxing. The tea table is the coolest table I’ve ever seen. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! You’ll be happy you did!

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.

Discover a Hidden Gem of Tea and Kung Fu Excellence Step into this extraordinary tea house, and you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported to ancient China—no plane ticket required. From the moment you enter, the ambiance, artistry, and aroma wrap around you like a timeless journey. Amy’s tea is nothing short of exceptional—rich, aromatic, and lingering with an unforgettable aftertaste. It’s not just a visit, it’s an experience worth every mile—this place definitely worth a drive from Florida ☺️

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.

This was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever done. The atmosphere, the tea the people were so great. Came thinking we were just going to taste tea and left with so much more. Thank you for taking the time and sharing with us!

Reserved the tea experience to learn about the art of tea. This was an interesting experience and you can definitely tell they know tea. The day we were supposed to go there was an early morning storm and power outage which Wayne the owner reached out to me to let me know and we worked together throughout the morning hours so that when power did come back we could come in for our experience. Worked out that we could go explore the city and make it in for tea at 1:30pm. The shop is off the main road and actually located in more of an industrial area. They have an inviting space and they are so nice! Especially Amy! She was so welcoming and you could really see her love for tea as well as learning about her customers. We traveled from Tampa to have this experience given our love for tea and it was nice learning about tea and being able to sample their offerings. I fell in love with their Jasmine tea. I also loved the water warmers they had but were out of stock when we were there. Great experience and highly recommend!

Tucked away in an unassuming building is this gem of tea tastings and expertise (along with a dojo in the back). Everyone there is so passionate about the tea, different styles, different flavors. I went with some friends for the Monday evening tasting and it was nice to just sit and enjoy cups of tea out of the same pot and taste as the flavors deepen over time. Definitely try this place out if you want a fun new chill experience! (Seriously, the outside area does not so this place justice)

I honestly can't recommend this locally owned business enough! We came here as a special way to kick off our honeymoon before we headed out of town, and they definitely delivered. My husband and I had recently gone to a Chinese tea house in Singapore and were searching for a tea set after that experience, so not only did we get to enjoy the 1 hour tea, but we got to shop around and find the perfect set and tea leaves here as well! It was all so fun and impressive. The table that they imported from China is a true work of art and sitting with the owner and getting to hear her story and gain more knowledge of tea was a pleasure. Each year, they travel back to China and stay with the tea farmers to get the best tea! I don't believe they do food here, but that did not at all take away from the experience. I can't wait to go back and maybe participate in the tea parties that they have on Mondays for their community. I can see the heart that they put into this business. It is so calm and beautiful there!

We had such an incredible tea experience today! If you enjoy new adventures, learning about other cultures, delicious tea, good energy and great company, please schedule a full tea experience or just stop by to see Amy at Wai's Gong Fu Tea. Thank you, Amy, for such a special morning. Hope to visit again sometime soon.

If you love tea like I do you'll love this place. You not only learn about the tea but you're shown how to make it, and then taste it. It's very personal with a nice selection of teas to choose from. Kudos to Amy who's vast knowledge of teas keeps your attention the entire time.

Upon entering the tea house, my wife and I were greeted warmly by the owner Wayne. After a brief discussion of how I tripped across gong fu on YouTube and became obsessed with the practice, Wayne selected a white, Oolong, and Black tea to taste and introduced us to Amy. She was very knowledgeable, and we had great discussions of how the teas were changing with each steep and how the materials of the vessels can impact the flavor profiles. It was amazing how tea varietals that we enjoyed already with honey and condensed milk could taste naturally sweet and savory without those added ingredients. It was great to learn the close connections Wayne and Amy have to the family farms that provide the outstanding teas. It is not only a relaxing experience, but it is also a great way to hold conversations with complete strangers over a common interest in something as simple (yet complex) as tea. For our whole lives we were unaware of the potential in the loose teas we were buying, and we were also wasting leaves that could still offer many more cups and joy. Well, that won't happen anymore!! After our session, Wayne was great in helping us navigate how we wanted to start our journey at home. We selected an elegant Gong Fu set that will be with us forever. We also added a clay pot that I am seasoning tonight with Golden Eyebrow and a clear sharing pitcher. We love to see the changes in color with each steep. We are already talking about the next time we go back and what new teas we may discover. I am looking forward to tasting Pu'er for real (the only time I have tried it was in a tea bag) and I am sure it doesn't do it justice. Wayne and Amy were awesome hosts and ambassadors in what is the art of Gong Fu. If you book a Gong Fu session, you may meet us there Mahalo, Brad and Julie

If you are a tea lover don't miss this place! We booked the Gong Fu experience and enjoyed it immensely. I purchased some Pu'er tea and am drinking it via the Gong Fu way!

Great experience at wai gong fu. Each tea was delicately prepared and served . The owner explained each tea in detail . Definitely worth the experience. Group of 3-4 makes it easier to do the experience!

This was an amazing spot. This is the greatest hidden gem Atlanta has to offer. Amy was so kind and willing to teach us about tea. I will be a regular here. It's also very beautiful learning of the tea tables and the great teas. It's a perfect date spot. I recommend bringing friends.

I recently had the extreme pleasure of a tea tasting at Wai's Gong Fu Tea House with three of my friends, and the entire experience was exquisite. Our hostess and guide was Amy, and she shared her deep knowledge of the selection and preparation of tea. We sat at the Jade Table, which is carved from a massive solid piece of jade, and enjoyed the sounds of the embedded fountain. We also met Wei, who was a gracious host; he really helped put us at ease. Each tea we sampled would have been outstanding on its own, but were truly special presented together. We are spreading the word about this gem on the Westside, and want to return as soon as we can!

An incredible place, It's hard enough to find a tea house as it is, but they've got something great here. Fantastic Selection, Excellent service, Beautiful interior. If you're in the area it will be worth the stop in!

Great vibe for a very unique experience. It's a place to deepen into presence and experience a profound sense of calm.

This is one of the best experiences and a must-try if you are in Atlanta. Our tea master, Wayne, was so knowledgeable and made the evening so fun. The ambiance was perfect and the wooden and jade tea tables are perfect for a date night or with friends/family. We can't wait to go back!!

I cannot recommend coming here enough, Sifu Wai and his wife were incredibly welcoming and nice, not to mention extremely knowledgeable on all things Gong Fu related. As someone who has some experience in Gong Fu tea previously I found this to be a great time meeting someone in person who also enjoys the traditional style of tea as well. There are packaged teas as well as a huge variety of tea ware for sale within the store ranging from very affordable starter sets to some beautiful hand crafted pieces. The Teas were great quality I tried a Puer and green tea and found them both to be amazing. I will be becoming a regular here if I can and would recommend that you do the same!

I was looking for a place to "sit with tea". I did a search and found Wai's tea house. Wai welcomed me and when I entered the space I was instantly really happy I made an appointment to sit with him and learn about tea. Wai welcomed me and showed me around. We sat for an hour and enjoyed many varieties of tea. I was so nourished from this experience and will return many more times! This would be the perfect place to bring friends or a date. He has tables set so that you can make tea for Yourself. Although, I highly recommend sitting with him first to learn!!!

Best tea drinking experience in Atlanta! Amazing tea ware and tea collection from China

Great vibe! I learned so much about tea and Wayne is a nice guy, so knowledgeable and nice! I had the best tea I've ever tasted.

If you've ever searched for tea in atlanta, you'll see an endless list of bubble tea shops and cafe's that serve cheap tea bags. However, 3 weeks ago I stumbled across this gem and did not believe it was real. I called the shop to schedule a tea tasting and Sifu Wayne, Kung Fu master and avid tea conniseur, answered right away. As soon as I walked through the entrance, I thought I was in China. Wayne welcomed me like family, and I experienced the most delicious and immersive tasting with high quality loose leaf white, red, puerh, and green tea served traditional gong fu style over a majestic wooden tea table. I have completely replaced my old coffee need with far healthier teas, which each have unique effects on focus. I've gone back every weekend since first visiting to introduce friends to this incredible place, and strongly encourage you to come experience it for yourself.
