Community
Step Out of the Rush. Return to Yourself.
ZORB was never just a tea brand.
It grew out of a real place, a real community, and three years of gathering strangers around a tea table in Silicon Valley. That community now has a home.
MaisonForte Salon is a tea-centered lifestyle space located inside the Silicon Valley Asian Cultural Center (SVACC) in Hayward, California — a place to slow down, taste rare teas, and connect with people who are also looking for a quieter way to live.
What We Offer
Tea Ritual
An immersive pause where you slow down, taste rare single-origin teas, and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to yourself. No agenda. No pitch. Just tea and presence.
Aesthetic Living
Modern Eastern-inspired living — where space, clothing, scent, and objects turn everyday moments into small rituals of beauty. Seasonal workshops explore heritage crafts, ink art, wagashi making, qipao culture, and more.
In-Person Connection
Meet beyond small talk. Gather over tea, share stories, and build real connections in a warm, curated community. Past events have included fashion shows, handpan sound healing, singing bowl sleep healing, solar term tea rituals, and seasonal salons.
