In celebration of the Lunar New Year, join us for an enlightening and relaxing morning as we explore the rich history and cultural significance of the tea ceremony.
According to Confucianism, the art of tea is as much transformative on an introspective level as it is on a ceremonial level. Gain a brief background on the origin of tea and its role in East Asian social interactions along with its many benefits. Engage in the ritual of tea handling, tea ware function and identification, and proper tea steeping. There will be two types of tea tasting, including one non-caffeinated option.
