Discover the Camellia Tea Ceremony
The tea ceremony, also known as sado, is a quintessential part of Japanese culture. It began in the 12th century with the use of matcha (finely powdered green tea) in Buddhist ceremonies and evolved into an art form. The ceremony emphasizes aesthetics, mindfulness, and the spiritual connection between the host and guests.
The Camellia Tea House Experience
Located near the Kiyomizu Temple, Camellia is a haven of tranquility. The tea house is run by Atsuko Mori, a bilingual tea master who balances formality with a welcoming atmosphere. The ceremony includes a demonstration, an explanation of the history and significance of the tea ceremony, and an opportunity for guests to make their own tea.
