A Tea Ceremony Workshop gift ticket makes a wonderful present for someone who is interested in green tea or matcha tea, and is curious about the art of tea. It is also an excellent way to practice meditation, a way to realise our wellbeing, and to reduce stress levels. The workshop lasts for 90 mins and has two main parts: 1. A talk by Keiko about the history of tea in Japan, and the philosophy and cultural background behind the Japanese Tea Ceremony. (Around 60 mins.) 2. The demonstration, where Keiko prepares and serves a cup of matcha tea and some sweets to each guest. Each visitor then has the chance to make their cup of matcha under the guidance of the experienced tea master. (Around 30 minutes) During the session you will enjoy some sweets and at least two different kinds of matcha tea. All of our matcha teas are directly imported from two of the most esteemed tea houses in Japan, Ippodo and Marukyu Koyamaen of Kyoto. Once you purchase the gift ticket, you will receive an email with a code. The receiver of the gift ticket can then choose the date of the workshop, and book it through the website. Please note that this ticket is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. After this time it will expire cannot be reissued.
