About:
Practiced in Japan for centuries, the art of tea ceremony --also called Chado, or The Way of Tea-- is imbued with harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. Join us at Shoseian Tea house for an unparalleled opportunity to experience a 40-minute tea presentation in a traditional roji garden setting. After the ceremony ends, we can take a relaxing walk through the Japanese Garden.
