Most tea experiences in China offer a casual sit-down with a server who pours and explains—pleasant, but passive. Ours is radically different. This is a 1.5-hour masterclass where you become the brewer, not the spectator. Your Own Personal Tea Set – Every participant receives a dedicated Gongfu tea set (gaiwan or small purple-clay pot, fairness cup, tasting cups, and tea tray) to use throughout the session. You'll warm the vessels, measure leaves, time infusions, and pour with your own hands. Muscle memory forms faster when the tools are yours, not shared. Certified Master Guidance – Our instructor isn't a hobbyist but a formally certified Chinese tea master with years of dedicated training. They don't just demonstrate; they stand beside you, correcting wrist angles, adjusting water temperature, and explaining the philosophy of "Cha Dao" (the Way of Tea)—the harmony between human, tea, water, and fire. Three Teas, Three Techniques – You'll sample and brew three distinct teas.
