What To Expect

Japanese tea ceremony has long been associated with refinement and grace. It's more than just an occasional activity for people who take it seriously, it's an art form that requires vigorous training and a license. People in Japan study for years to master the art of holding a perfect tea ceremony. All this dates back to the original masters of Kyoto. Now, you can get a taste of this traditional culture lead by the experts of Japan’s tea capital. Learn the ins and outs of what it takes to have the perfect tea ceremony, then put it all into practice guided by a licensed master. Experience this gem of Japanese culture and take home a guidebook that will let you dive deeper into the rich heritage of tea.
