Yusuian Tea Room - Temporarily Closed Due to Palisades Wildfires
We are deeply saddened to announce that our tea room, Yusuian, was destroyed by the recent wildfires in the Palisades area of Los Angeles. Our hearts go out to everyone affected. While our physical space is currently unavailable, we are exploring future public workshops. We are determined to rebuild and continue sharing tea culture. Please stay connected with us for updates on our rebuilding efforts and any upcoming events through our official Instagram and Facebook accounts.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. We appreciate your interest in Chado.
