Discover the timeless elegance of Chinese aesthetic traditions in this special seasonal tea gathering inspired by spring – a time of renewal and fresh beginnings in Chinese culture.
Hosted at the museum, this intimate experience invites you to savour tea tasting, traditional flower arrangement, and antique vessel appreciation in one harmonious afternoon.
Journey through a curated selection of regional teas prepared with traditional methods while discovering the rich history of tea production, ancient brewing techniques, and historic tea ware.
Along the way, enjoy rare, hands-on access to authentic antique vessels used in both the tea service and floral displays – a unique opportunity to touch, hold, and appreciate objects usually kept behind glass.
Join for an afternoon of sensory delight, history, and cultural discovery as the art of Chinese tea culture comes vividly to life.
