The stained glass at Mountain View Mausoleum is one of the site’s most cherished and defining features.
Following decades of natural wear and recent damage from the harsh winds from the fire, professional assessment has shown that this window now requires restoration to preserve its beauty and integrity.
Donations are now open through Givebutter to support this work and help safeguard this historic artistry for generations to come.

Still thinking about our Chinese Green Tea tasting from a couple weeks ago 🍃
Thank you to everyone who came, asked questions, tasted deeply, and shared the space with us. These gatherings always remind us why we do this.
More steeped stories soon. 🫖

Steeping Hour: Green Teas – Part 2: Chinese Teas 🍃
Our exploration of green tea continues with China. A focused, sensory-forward gathering exploring pan-fired green teas and the nuanced profiles shaped by tradition, craftsmanship, and regional expression.
Join us for an intentional afternoon of tasting and discussion. We’ll explore how processing methods like pan-firing and shaping influence the leaf; from delicate, downy buds to bold, expressive styles. Together, we’ll taste through multiple cups, notice differences in aroma, body, and finish, and deepen our understanding of what makes Chinese green tea distinct.
Guests will receive guided tasting notes and a small tea gift to take home.
Tickets are now live! Link in bio or at steepinghour.com 🍵

We have some very special guests in the cemetery this month.
We have spotted 7 cocoons of what has been identified as Mourning Cloak Butterflies sweetly secured on various headstones. 🦋
Such a perfect way to enter Spring 🌱

Steeping Hour: Green Teas – Part 1: Japanese Teas 🍃
Our first exploration in the Green Tea series begins with Japan. A focused, sensory-forward gathering exploring steamed green teas and umami-rich profiles shaped by terroir, elevation, and craft.
Join us for an intentional afternoon of tasting and discussion. We’ll explore how processing methods like steaming and shading transform the leaf; from bright, grassy sencha to deeply savory, shade-grown teas. Together, we’ll taste through multiple cups, notice subtle differences in texture and aroma, and deepen our understanding of what makes Japanese green tea distinct.
Guests will receive guided tasting notes and a small tea gift to take home.
Tickets are now live! Link in bio or at steepinghour.com 🍵

Steeping Hour: The Green Tea Series 🌿
An invitation to slow down with green tea and discover how much beauty lives within a single leaf.
In this two-part series, we’ll gently explore the world of green tea together: tasting, learning, and noticing the subtle ways origin, craft, and brewing shape the cup in your hands.
Whether you’re new to green tea or looking to deepen your ritual, each evening is designed to stand on its own. You’re welcome to join us for one class or attend both as we steep through the spectrum of green.
Expect guided tastings, quiet conversation, and the kind of atmosphere that allows you to truly pay attention.
