Aloha! My name is Sephira, and I offer private Cha Dao tea ceremonies where I travel directly to you and transform your space into a Tea Temple. This intimate experience hosts up to six guests and is unlike anything else on Kaua‘i—unique, elevated, and deeply soulful. Imagine your space beautifully transformed with loom rugs, cozy floor pillows, a handmade tea table, terracotta vessels, natural textures, and ceremonial teaware, creating an atmosphere of presence, beauty, and connection. I’ll open with a gentle orientation to Cha Dao, the Way of Tea, before guiding the group into a traditional tea ceremony. You’ll receive 5–6 bowls of Hawai‘i-grown tea or a hand-selected artisan tea from a revered tea-growing region. The ceremony unfolds as a meditative immersion, mostly in silence, allowing the tea to soften the body and move through the mind, heart, and spirit. We’ll close with shares, reflections, and celebration, where time together on Kaua‘i feels like a dream come true.

Travelers will be able to select a drink tasting menu and dinner menu for their group to sample and participate in creating. Guests will taste the menu and take home samples for later. Cuisine ranges from Mexican to Japanese menus, to reflect the knowledge, experience and culture of the host.
