Reviews
Super interesting tea ceremony. Our tea master was incredibly insightful, kind and funny. The tea was lovely to drink too.
We had a very educational experience learning about the history of tea ceremonies in Japan. The tea performance aspect of the class was very detailed and definitely piqued our interest in learning more about the tea ceremony culture in Japan!
This was a traditional ceremony that was explained and followed. The teacher was a master of 20 years who was able to pass on his knowledge and he had great English to boot. Whole recommend this 👌
very nice tea ceremony and very educational :)
