The Tea Ceremony

An intimate practice of hospitality, aesthetics, and mindfulness.

The tea ceremony is a traditional Japanese culture in which guests are entertained by being served a meal and matcha tea is prepared and served in front of them. It is also said to be a comprehensive art form, as it requires not only knowledge of tea but also a deep knowledge of hanging scrolls, flowers, pottery, and tools.

PLAN 1 — Build a Tea Room in Your Garden

The base, pillars, and beams will be temporarily assembled and then disassembled before shipping, so please assemble them on-site. Foundation, roof finish, and walls are not included. The roof should be covered with copper sheets, and the walls should be finished with earthen walls or drywall. Stones for the entrance are not included, so try placing this tea room appropriately within your garden. While it can be used for tea practice, it is also ideal for hosting guests for tea.
