At Sessions by the Bay, we believe cannabis is best experienced with intention, context, and care. High Time Tea was created from that belief — a guided cannabis lounge experience where premium flower is paired with handcrafted herbal teas to awaken the senses, slow the moment, and deepen connection.
Hosted inside Everburn Woods, our hidden cannabis speakeasy, High Time Tea is a 90-minute ritual that brings together vapor, herbs, lineage, and storytelling in an intimate group setting.
Accessed discreetly through a hidden passage known only to those invited, Everburn Woods isn’t a speakeasy in the traditional sense. There’s no reveal of a bar behind a bookcase — instead, the moment you step inside, you’re transported somewhere else entirely. The outside world fades, and the space opens into something more immersive, atmospheric, and otherworldly, designed to feel less like a room and more like entering a different realm.
This is not a class.
This is not a tasting flight.
This is a session.
What Is High Time Tea?
High Time Tea is a cannabis and tea pairing experience designed to highlight flavor, aroma, and plant synergy. Each session features a carefully selected cannabis flower paired with a custom, proprietary tea blend crafted specifically for that cultivar.
Rather than masking cannabis, the tea is designed to complement it — enhancing terpene notes, grounding the experience, and creating a balanced sensory arc from inhale to sip.
The result is a cannabis lounge experience that feels refined, thoughtful, and surprisingly emotional.
Guided by an Herbalist, Not a Script
Each High Time Tea session is guided by Nayeli of @ngapothecary, a respected regional herbalist known for her deep knowledge, authenticity, and intentional approach to plant medicine.
Nayeli doesn’t just serve tea — she tells the story of it. Guests are guided through:
- The ancestral use of specific herbs
- How plant lineage connects cannabis and tea cultures
- Why certain herbs support clarity, calm, or elevation
Her blends are exclusive to this experience and crafted specifically for Sessions by the Bay.
Cannabis, Experienced at Its Purest
The cannabis portion of High Time Tea is consumed using a Storz & Bickel Volcano, widely regarded as one of the cleanest, most precise vaporization devices in the world.
Vaporization allows guests to experience:
- Clear terpene expression
- True flavor without combustion
- A smoother, more intentional effect
This approach aligns with the philosophy of High Time Tea: slow down, taste everything, and stay present.
Inside Everburn Woods
High Time Tea takes place inside Everburn Woods, our hidden cannabis speakeasy tucked within Sessions by the Bay.
Those who find their way inside quickly understand that Everburn Woods is less a room and more a threshold to another realm. At its center stands Mana. She is the quiet force that makes the space possible, cultivating moments with patience and intention, allowing each gathering to take root.
Guests naturally gather around a central point of preparation where tea is poured and cannabis is shared. It’s not quite a bar, not quite a table — more a place of exchange, nourishment, and guidance. From there, the experience unfolds without needing to be defined — presence does the rest.
The Ritual
Each 90-minute session includes:
- A guided cannabis flower tasting
- A paired tea ritual with custom blends
- Curated snacks like crumpets designed to complement tea
- Elegant tea service with thoughtfully selected sets
Sessions are intentionally limited to eight guests per round, creating an intimate, unhurried experience.
Make a Night of It
High Time Tea is designed to be just one chapter of the evening. After your 90-minute session, guests are encouraged to head upstairs to explore the full Sessions by the Bay experience.
Whether that means settling into the lounge for elevated bites, satisfying the inevitable munchies, enjoying infused or non-infused mocktails, or catching another activation or live performance happening that night, the session doesn’t have to end when the tea cups are cleared.
Many guests find that High Time Tea opens the door to a longer, more social evening — the perfect transition from ritual to celebration.
Why We Created High Time Tea
At Sessions by the Bay, we are redefining what a cannabis bar, cannabis restaurant, and weed lounge can be. High Time Tea exists to show that cannabis culture can be:
- Grounded
- Artistic
- Educational
- Deeply human
It’s one of many ways we honor the plant — not as a product, but as a connector.
