Japanese Tea Ceremony

Tea ceremony has been a Japanese tradition for over 400 years. Tea Ceremony is not just about drinking Matcha tea- it is also about the "Teishu”, (host) offering hospitality to the “Kyaku” (guest). Chaji is communicating with others with a caring and thankful heart. For 3 hours you will receive this amazing hospitality and experience Chaji in a traditional “tea ceremony room”. Why not come and take advantage of the rare opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony?
