Japanese Tea Ceremony (Chanoyu)

About this class

An introduction to chanoyu, the Japanese way of tea, covering the philosophy, etiquette, and precise physical movements that transform a simple bowl of matcha into a contemplative ritual. The instructor walks through the history of the practice, demonstrates the preparation sequence, and guides each participant through performing it themselves. You leave with a genuine understanding of why Japanese tea ceremony is considered one of the country's highest art forms, and a calm you did not arrive with.
