Tea
Tea has had a major influence on the development of Chinese culture. Tea is often associated with literature, arts, and philosophy and is closely connected with Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Roughly since the Tang Dynasty, drinking tea has been an essential part of self-cultivation. Chinese Chan 禪 (similar to Japanese Zen) philosophy is also linked with drinking tea.
Our tea culture workshop is design for anyone who would like to learn more about the traditional Chinese/Taiwanese tea ceremony. Participants are introduced to the traditions, equipment and the preparation. During the workshop the participants will be learning to set up a formal tea ceremony and preparing oolong tea in the correct method. Three kinds of teas will be introduced, along side with gaining the knowledge of selecting the correct brewing vessels for each brew/ tea for yielding the best results. Furthermore, the refreshments is also an inseparable part of the tea ceremony. It will be provided as part of the tea testing ritual.
ZIYO intends to only accept smaller groups to achieve the best learning outcome. Ideally, two people for each section. This workshop will take about two hours.
