TEA TALKS
Tea drinking is an integral part of Chinese culture. Since ancient times, the simple pleasure of family and friends gathering to drink tea has been practised to promote health and well-being. Savour the delicate fragrances, imagining yourself as an ancient scholar at leisure in their graden-home!
This program includes a Garden Tour, a chance to taste Chinese tea and a talk given by one of our tea experts about its cultural significance.
Prices vary according to the size of the group, the Chinese tea and the type of experience groups are interested in. Please contact us for more details.
