Review Body: As a first-timer to tea appreciation, I found this session both calming and enlightening. We learned a lot about the mindful approach to enjoying each sip. The host was patient, welcoming, and generous in sharing her knowledge. She took the time to answer all our questions, making the experience accessible even for beginners. Recommended for anyone curious about tea or simply looking to slow down and reconnect through a mindful practice.

Review Body: The attention to detail in this ceremony, which turned out to be just me and my husband with a very experienced and knowledgeable Chinese tea expert, was breathtaking. It was beautiful, ritualistic, we tasted the finest teas, and learned how to appreciate them. One of my favorite experiences ever.
