Would you like to experience a Japanese Tea Ceremony?
Are you interested in Japanese culture?
We hold events so that you can experience a Japanese tea ceremony and learn traditional culture easily.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn the traditional world of the “Chado“(The Way of Tea)?
“Chado” is one of the greatest traditions in Japanese culture.
The Japanese tea ceremony is an event in Chado. It is not only to drink Matcha (powdered fine green tea), but also to learn and connect with Japanese culture.
In this experience, you can learn manners of the tea ceremony, and how to make Matcha. Of course, you can also have Matcha tea and Japanese sweets that represent the seasons throughout the tea ceremony.
It takes about 90 minutes.
This experience includes the following 3 lessons:
1. What is “Chado”?
