Experience Song Dynasty Tea Ceremony: Ancient Chinese Whisked Tea

€5.00

Step back nearly a thousand years and experience Song Dynasty whisked tea (宋代点茶) — one of the most refined and influential tea traditions in Chinese history.

Popular among scholars, poets, and emperors during the Song Dynasty (960–1279), 点茶 was not simply about drinking tea, but about aesthetics, ritual, and inner calm. This elegant method later influenced the development of Japanese matcha culture, making it a cornerstone of East Asian tea history.

In this immersive experience, you’ll enter a beautifully arranged traditional space and be guided step by step by a professional tea instructor. From grinding tea leaves by hand to whisking fine tea foam in a Jian ware tea bowl, you’ll learn and practice every stage of the ancient process using traditional tools.

This is more than a tea tasting — it’s a meditative journey into Chinese history, craftsmanship, and the slow beauty of classical tea culture.

Please note: The listed price is a non-refundable reservation fee. The remaining 230 RMB can be paid directly to your guide during the experience.

Our experience usually starts at 10:00 AM local time, but if it’s just your group, we can be flexible and start at a time that works best for you!
