Enjoy the aroma and flavors of green tea, while meeting people from many different countries.
 It’s a great chance for those new to tea ceremonies to learn the rules and manners of this traditional ritual. All three sessions are conducted in both English and Japanese, so foreigners and Japanese are welcome. You don’t need to bring anything, but no jeans or bare feet!
