【Authentic Tea Ceremony for beginners】
Just serving matcha tea became a kind of spiritual discipline and an art form in Japan. Wabi-cha, the way of tea with the essence of simplicity is stylized from the spirit of Zen, in
Samurai age more than 400 yrs ago.
We hold hands-on classes to give the opportunity for people who don't have knowledge can enjoy the tea ceremony.
Although the way of tea is actually a deep way (endlessly!), here you can enjoy the traditional culture by eating sweets and drinking Matcha, feel the mindfulness and the
atmosphere of the hospitality in unique style. After attending the tea ceremony, let us teach you how to make the tasty tea, so you may try it also at your
home!
Visit us and enjoy the experience of tea ceremony in a hide-out tea-room near Ginkaku-ji temple in Kyoto.
