Experience

Reimagine tea not just as something to drink—but as something to create with. Begin with a warm welcome from our Tea Master and a short introduction to the history and meaning of tea in Chinese culture. After tasting several varieties, you’ll learn to grind the leaves into powder and paint on dried tea leaves using your own design. The experience is meditative, expressive, and surprising—turning an everyday ritual into a mindful act of self-expression. You’ll leave with your own creation and a deeper appreciation for tea’s place in daily life.
