The Art of Chinese Tea Ceremonies

The origin of Chinese tea culture dates back to the Shennong era in ancient times. According to legend, Shennong, the ancestor of agriculture and medicine, discovered tea when leaves accidentally fell into his boiling water.
Over centuries, tea culture has blended with philosophy, literature, and etiquette, forming a unique cultural tradition that has influenced generations of Chinese people. At this event, we will offer a tasting experience featuring famous Chinese tea varieties and demonstrate how each tea is made and prepared for the best flavour, including the ideal water temperatures for different types of tea.
