After Work Teatime

May 27, 2018 Vivian Lee Hu

I cohosted a teatime after work with my coworkers at Samovar last week. It was a beautiful, airy spot in Yerba Buena with high glass walls and long wooden tables. Given the chillier weather, we sat inside, but there’s also outdoor seating to enjoy on a sunny day.

They have an extensive menu with a unique variety of both caffeinated and non-caffeinated teas as well as snacks and full tea inspired meals. We ordered several of their Mochi cakes, sweet snack platter, and generously sized scones.

My favorite was the cardamom infused Mochi cake. We ordered individual teas including Rooibos Ocean of Wisdom, Masala Chai, Chamomile Twist, Moorish Mint, and several others.

I used to come here on the occasional weekend to enjoy a cup of tea and peaceful view of the city. We’ll be back for sure to enjoy another teatime soon!

Season for Cozy Teacups & Mugs
Feb 8, 2019

With the onset of winter and rainy weather, I find myself constantly reaching for my favorite mugs and teacups. So I thought I’d share a few of my favorites. I love cups that you can cradle in your hands, a little whimsical, but earthy too.

Finds from Busy Days & Slow Weekends
Feb 2, 2019

While the days have been busy, the weekends have been good for the soul, unwinding with a bit of slow living and recharging with the new year. Here are a few links to finds along the way.

Checking off My Bucket List
Jan 26, 2019

I’ve always felt life was too short to live a single, boring day. It can be easy to turn several “somedays” into never. So about once a month, I go through my bucket list (that is ever growing) and make a commitment to check a few off.

Weekend Hike at Lake Chabot
Jan 19, 2019

My husband found this beautiful hike for us to try along Lake Chabot. We were greeted by mirror reflections in the morning, as we leisurely strolled along the 9 mile path.

Renovating Our Apartment Kitchen Floor
Jan 10, 2019

On a whimsical afternoon, my husband and I decided we were in need of a little apartment therapy. I’d recommend these peel-and-stick vinyl flooring panels to anyone who’s tired of their apartment flooring. It’s made a huge difference in our mini kitchen!

Behind the Scenes Designing our Dream Wedding

While it's been a few months now since we got married, I've finally found some time to share how the design came together. 


Went snowshoeing in this winter wonderland among the sequoia trees this weekend. Simply magical. 🙌
