Experience tranquility: Discover the Ryurei Misonodana Tea Ceremony with Alexander Katakura and Kayo Yoshitaya

Step into a world of serene beauty and profound tradition. As a seasoned tea master, I invite you to experience the elegant Ryurei Misonodana tea ceremony – a unique and accessible way to immerse yourself in the heart of Japanese culture.

This special ceremony, performed at a unique standing/seated table (Ryurei) from Kyoto, eliminates the need for traditional floor seating, making it perfect for those seeking comfort without sacrificing authenticity. It’s an ideal experience for corporate events, cultural gatherings, or simply a tranquil escape with friends.

In this 90-minute journey, I'll begin by sharing insights into the philosophy and etiquette behind the Japanese tea ceremony, setting the stage for a deeper appreciation. Then, watch as I meticulously prepare and serve traditional Japanese matcha tea. You'll learn the traditional way to drink the tea, savoring its unique flavor and the meditative quietude of the moment.

Each ceremony is designed for intimate groups of up to 15 people, ensuring a personalized and engaging experience. The cost is €40.00 per person, offering an exceptional opportunity to connect with an ancient art form.

Embrace the harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility of the tea ceremony. It's more than just tea; it's a profound cultural experience waiting to be discovered.
