Tea Ceremony with Camellia Flower in Kyoto

Descrizione

Camellia Flower offers an island of calm in the bustling heart of Higashiyama. Conveniently located a short walk from Kiyomizu Temple, the Ninenzaka neighbourhood is also filled with traditional houses, shops and restaurants.

At the start of your session, your instructor will welcome you with a brief introduction to the history and culture of tea, before performing the tea ceremony itself.

After being served a small traditional sweet, you will have the opportunity to make your own bowl of frothy Matcha under the guidance of your instructor. Sessions are informal and welcoming, and we hope you'll be inspired to ask questions.

• A tase of the culture and history behind the tea ceremony
