Excellent experience in learning Japanese Tea Ceremony
What a wonderful experience learning about the Japanese Tea Ceremony! Our tea master was artful and graceful in his demonstration. His assistance translated in English. He also demonstrated how to make match tea. They were very patient with all of our questions. The 100 year old house was beautiful! The tea master comes from 17 generations of tea masters! We did this with my 75 year old mother so tables and chairs was a bonus! Highly recommend!
