Born on the misty mountainsides of China, tea leaves have traveled centuries and miles to reach the modern tea table. Many people drink tea, but few know the order/sequence/etiquette of pouring an intoxicating cup of Chinese tea. In this workshop we’ll be focusing on the etiquette and order/sequence of brewing tea in a gong fu/Chinese style and Dancong Oolong tea tasting.

We will leave behind our fast-paced chaotic lives, and immerse ourselves in the serene and harmonious practice of the traditional tea ceremony. You will learn how to select the proper teaware; how to arrange your tea set; how to hold the gaiwan/teapot, and its proper motions; and how to pour the tea. 

We will be brewing 5 - 6 kinds of Dancong Oolong tea from The Phoenix (Feng Huang) mountains in eastern Guangdong province. We look forward to sharing this delightful moment with all tea lovers!

Please note:

We will be sitting on the floor during the workshop, so please wear comfortable clothes. And please don’t wear any perfume that may overpower the delicate scent of the tea.
