A Gongfu Tea Experience - City Libraries Chinese Language Week Event
About this Event
As part of the Christchurch City Libraries Chinese Language Week programme, join us for an intimate small-group introduction to Chinese Gongfu tea culture.
More than a tea tasting, this experience offers a gentle glimpse into tea as a way of life. Through guided tastings, tea stories, simple Chinese language elements, and meaningful conversation, participants will explore how tea has long served as a bridge between people, cultures, and everyday moments of connection.
Rather than focusing on technical knowledge or formal ceremony, this session invites you to slow down, engage your senses, and experience the spirit of Chinese tea culture in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Whether you are curious about Chinese culture, interested in language learning, or simply looking for a mindful pause in a busy week, this tea gathering offers a unique opportunity to connect, reflect, and share.
Fees
$6 includes premium tea and a plant-based dessert.
