Start with the basics, rooting yourself in the six major tea categories and tea ceremony etiquette, entering with a calm mind, then refining your skills through repeated practice with water temperature, tea ware, and high-heat brewing.
Deepen your vocabulary for describing aromas, ultimately exploring the essence of tea by venturing into the mountains of Wuyi rock tea to investigate roasting techniques and the tasting of different vintages.
Each group of students is provided with professional tea sets to gain hands-on experience with every step of the process—from warming the pot, measuring tea leaves, and pouring water, to decanting the brew. Through small-group instruction, students rotate roles between brewing and tasting tea.
Fully experience the beauty of tea cultivation. Starting from scratch, use tea as a mirror to reflect and discover your own rhythm and inner stillness through every pour.
