Chinese tea workshop

We are dedicated to go beyond simple tea tasting, offering a journey into Chinese tea’s rich history and cultural significance. Begin with a meditation to centre and gather our senses, we take our time to notice and experience the mindful side of tea drinking.

In our Chinese tea workshop, we will go through six types of Chinese tea, brewing techniques, tasting practices, and flavour profiles. You will get to taste and learn about a selection of premium tea samples. Through interactive demonstrations and engaging discussions, we strive to make the world of Chinese tea accessible to curious minds. Whether you are a beginner starting your tea exploration or an experienced enthusiast, our workshops will cater to diverse palates and preferences.

YIN CHA Tea workshop

Mindful tea ceremony

Slowing down, creating, savouring, and sharing tea in a setting of tranquillity, simplicity, and openness – this is rooted deeply in the ancient custom of Cha Dao (the way of tea).

During our Chinese tea ceremony, you will be fully immersed in a magical experience that encourages you to find a personal connection with the tea. We will use sound and smell to bring up all your senses and guide you to appreciate tea with your whole body. Through the ceremonial way, we create a peaceful moment for you to reflect on lives and communicate with emotions.

Interactive tea tasting

We are committed to deep dive into the world of Chinese tea and sharing our knowledge through our tea tastings. They are designed to reveal the charm and mysteries of Chinese tea, guiding all tea lovers to deepen their understanding and appreciation of this ancient practice.

With each Chinese tea tasting session, we aim to transport you through the serene tea plantations of China, where the art and craftsmanship of tea-making have been perfected over centuries.
