Elegance in Tradition: Japanese Tea Ceremony - London
Join ASMALLWORLD Members for an exquisite afternoon of cultural refinement at our Private Japanese Tea Ceremony on 18 October, hosted at the elegant Studio 5.12, Grand Union Studios in Ladbroke Grove, London.
Experience the serene beauty and intricate rituals of this timeless tradition in a luxurious, private setting. This exclusive event offers a unique opportunity to engage in the Japanese art of tea-making and appreciate its deep cultural significance. You will be guided through the delicate process of tea preparation and presentation by a skilled tea master, ensuring a tranquil and enlightening experience.
Please note that places are limited, and sales close on 4 October.
The tea ceremony is a comprehensive art. It means not only drinking a cup of matcha tea, but is also a spiritual experience. In Japan the tea ceremony was a development of a Zen ritual. As such it includes gardening, interior decoration, calligraphy, costume, arranging flowers, ceramics, food and tea, fragrances and textiles.
Matcha tea can be enjoyed with or without the tea ceremony. However, it adds enormously to the enjoyment to be aware of the meanings attached to the ceremony and its experiences. It has been used for centuries to enhance the mind, to produce calm, peace and wellbeing, as well as boosting energy levels.
Keiko Uchida has been practicing the Japanese Tea Ceremony for 25 years, and is a qualified tea ceremony master. She is always keen to open her West London studio to share her knowledge and experience of the tea ceremony, of matcha tea, and the whole world of Japanese culture. Do please get in touch to find out more.
Please note registration is mandatory and admission is by guest list only. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
