Giving a cup of Tea is like giving a cup of Now…
Like meditation, The Way of Tea is all about living in the moment. Focus your attention on the slow dance of tea leaves against beautiful, wafer-thin ceramic cups, contemplate the fragrant, mists of evolving aroma, and free your mind from the everyday hurly-burley, by learning to brew your tea in a mindful and meditative way.
Similar to fermented grape juice chugging, tea drinking can be a very personal experience. Through the ritual of Cha Dao, or Chinese tea ceremony, you’ll discover how a few simple leaves can create such a wonderful aroma and wide range of flavours, as well as the ancient Zen Buddhist principles behind it all.
Held at the trendy Ramas Oyster Bar & Grill in Wan Chai, and led by certified tea valuer Emily Cheung, your fascinating 1.5-hour tea appreciation masterclass will consist of numerous teapot downing sessions accompanied by a healthy dose of interesting facts, cultural anecdotes and historical brouhaha. You'll feel like you're in another world, as you discover how to select teas and which are your favourites. Surrender to a treasure trove of 6 artisan teas, gorgeous strains with evocative names like ‘White Peony’, ‘Snowflake on the Pond’ and ‘Dew on Mount Meng’, all brewed with tender loving care in the traditional Cha Dao style.
Tea is the perfect, value-for-money alternative that makes any meal or occasion refined and unique. You'll leave this workshop feeling relaxed and inspired. A mind-blowing experience you truly won't forget!
