Reviews
We had an amazing time with Irene and Ute at the tea ceremony and workshop. We learned a lot about tea and the tea ceremony itself. The workshop made us realise just how intricate the tea ceremony is (they made it fun while learning a lot, but it isn’t as easy as they made it look). We both felt their passion, dedication and knowledge for their craft. We may have been a bit hesitant at the beginning, but the experience surpassed our expectations. Thank you so much! Highly recommended!
