Experience an authentic tea ceremony, which is near the Zen buddhist monastery Daitoku-ji Temple in Kyoto. Daitoku-ji had many famous priest graduates in the history and has a close relationship with tea ceremony culture which has given a major influence to Japanese culture. We are also not far from the World Cultural Heritage site, the Golden Pavilion Temple. (Kinkaku-ji)It's only four stops away by bus. You’ll be provided with a tea container, tea bowl, tea scoops and whisks, and instruction on how to make matcha. You’ll also enjoy two bowls of matcha and two kinds of Japanese sweets. Tea ceremony is a learned experience, and it leads to enlightenment, similar to Zen’s understanding of realizing the truth through self-discovery.

Itinerary

The tea ceremony is a spiritual journey. All of our tea masters have a Tea Name.(that means having a full professor qualification.)At the beginning of the experience, the host will take you into the tea room to admire the hanging scrolls and flower arrangements. Before performing an authentic tea ceremony, the host will explain a little about the steps involved in the ceremony, the utensils used and the importance of the rooms decoration and layout. Guests will enjoy a seasonal sweet with their matcha while watching the tea-serving process. The experience ends with each guest having the opportunity to make their own bowl of matcha, mastering the basics of tea making. You can enjoy two bowls of matcha and enjoy two kinds of sweets during our tea ceremony. We value our guests’ experience and feelings and we strive to provide memories our guests will treasure.

Die Teezeremonie war sehr interessant. Wir durften nach der eigentlichen Zeremonie noch selber einen Matcha zubereiten. Wir können das Erlebnis weiterempfehlen.
