Japanese Tea Ceremony in Balham on Sunday 17th November

茶の湯 CHANOYU - The Way of Tea

A Great Opportunity to Experience and Enjoy Tranquil Beauty of Japanese tea ceremony !

茶の湯 - The Japanese tea ceremony, also called the Way of Tea, is a Japanese art involving the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha, powdered green tea, preceded by handcrafted Japanese sweets.

The art of tea ceremony has had a great influence on Japanese culture and the way of everyday life in Japan.

You will be served with a bowl of Matcha tea prepared and presented by the host in Mushano Koji Senke manner.

Japanese handcrafted sweets will be offered prior to the presentation of tea ceremony. The Matcha tea we use is Natural Agriculture tea(also certified as organic) as we care about maintaining our physical well being.

In the setting, there will be a hanging calligraphy scroll with Zen message. The host team will explain the history of tea ceremony and the meaning of the scroll which has a profound ``````Zen teaching.

The host team will be wearing Japanese traditional Kimono (tradtional dress) and the tea ceremony will be performed with tables and chairs (instead of sitting on tatami mat).

We hope the spirit of tea ceremony will touch your heart and the bowl of tea will bring us together.

We look forward to meeting you.

Advance booking is essential as places are limited.

Refund cannot be made after 15th November.
