Highlights

Description
Tea ceremony is so much more than drinking Matcha and tasting sweets. Although it might seem an odd experience to perform online, at its heart tea ceremony is about connection, mindfulness, and escape.
Let us introduce you to one of Japan's most famous and recognizable cultural pursuits. From our exclusive tearoom, we will perform tea ceremony, and introduce you to the world of Matcha. Touching upon Zen, flower arranging, traditional architecture, and ceramics, there is a lot more to tea ceremony than meets the eye! Join us for our authentic online tea experience in Kyoto and step into the elegant world of “sado” - the way of tea.
Details
We are aware that many of you have had to cancel your plans with us (and in coming to Japan), and that a great many people are in isolation at the moment due to COVID-19. As you cannot come to us, we thought we would bring tea ceremony to you with this online experience.
Our small, dedicated team of tea instructors, with many decades of experience in tea ceremony between us, are ready to perform tea ceremony and answer those burning questions you have about Japan.
We will be performing tea ceremonies from our Camellia Garden teahouse, close to the world-famous Ryoan-ji temple. The striking surroundings make ours one of the most beautiful locations to experience tea ceremony in Kyoto.
