Chinese tea culture has a long and rich history, tracing back thousands of years. Tea art, as a significant expression of tea culture, embodies people's love for tea and their attitude towards life. Through tea art, people can gain a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese culture, including profound aspects of social interactions and etiquette. The pursuit of tea art is not just about enjoying the taste but, more importantly, finding inner peace and seeking a state of harmonious coexistence with nature. Chinese tea art is not merely a technique but also a unique way of life and a philosophical concept. 

This tea workshop will combine tea culture with Chinese oldest Guqin music, offering everyone a unique visual, auditory, and gustatory experience. 

Tea and light refreshments will be provided. Space is limited. Reservations required. Please click register or call 415-557-4430. Seats are on a first-come, first-served basis
