Experience Details

Most tea experiences in China offer a casual sit-down with a server who pours and explains—pleasant, but passive. Ours is radically different. This is a 1.5-hour masterclass where you become the brewer, not the spectator.


Your Own Personal Tea Set – Every participant receives a dedicated Gongfu tea set (gaiwan or small purple-clay pot, fairness cup, tasting cups, and tea tray) to use throughout the session. You'll warm the vessels, measure leaves, time infusions, and pour with your own hands. Muscle memory forms faster when the tools are yours, not shared.


Certified Master Guidance – Our instructor isn't a hobbyist but a formally certified Chinese tea master with years of dedicated training. They don't just demonstrate; they stand beside you, correcting wrist angles, adjusting water temperature, and explaining the philosophy of "Cha Dao" (the Way of Tea)—the harmony between human, tea, water, and fire.


Three Teas, Three Techniques – You'll sample and brew three distinct teas.

What You’ll Experience

In this hands-on workshop, you won't just watch a tea ceremony – you will perform one yourself. Led by a certified Chinese tea master, you'll receive your own personal tea set and learn the refined techniques of the Gongfu tea ceremony. From warming the cups to pouring the perfect infusion, every gesture tells a story. By the end of the session, you'll confidently brew tea like a local master. Receive your own complete tea set, including a gaiwan (lidded bowl for brewing), fairness cup (cha hai), tea strainer, small tasting cups, tea pick, and towel. Your tea master will guide you step by step through the complete Gongfu tea ritual: warm the vessels, place the tea, awaken the leaves, high pour, low pour, serve, and enjoy. Learn why height, angle, and timing matter – skills that turn a simple brew into an art form. By the end, you will be able to perform the full ceremony independently. Expand your palate by sampling three distinct Chinese teas, each representing a major category: green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. Your tea master will guide you through professional tasting techniques.
