Chinese Tea Ceremony by Thames River Side
Location: 10 Wood Wharf, London, SE10 9FL
China was the first country in the world to discover and cultivate the tea tree, giving rise to a rich and refined Chinese tea culture that has endured for thousands of years. The Chinese Tea Ceremony is a ritualized and meditative way of drinking tea, transforming a simple daily act into an elegant form of artistic and spiritual enjoyment.
Through graceful movements and careful preparation, the ceremony encourages slow tasting, mindfulness, and inner calm. As the tea unfolds layer by layer, participants are invited into a state of serenity and contemplation, finding both material pleasure and spiritual nourishment. This immersive experience reflects the essence of traditional Chinese tea philosophy, where harmony, balance, and presence are deeply valued.
