Beijing: Must-Experience for Traditional Chinese Tea Culture

Experience traditional Chinese tea culture near the Forbidden City in Beijing, guided by an English-speaking tea ceremony teacher. Enjoy the elegance, simplicity, and harmony of the tea ceremony.
The Chinese tea ceremony emphasizes simplicity, nature, and harmony, focusing on expressing one's mood and etiquette through tea art. Compared to tea ceremonies in other countries, it places greater emphasis on tea tasting and brewing techniques, highlighting an atmosphere of "calm, harmony, and elegance," while using the fragrance, color, and taste of tea to reflect on life’s philosophies. We specifically selected 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM as tea times, as these two moments are considered ideal for regulating one's mood through tea in traditional Chinese culture.
