You must experience it at least once in your life: the wonderful Japanese tea ceremony, a ritual that unites Art & Tradition!

Tea ceremony host Alexander Katakura organizes Japanese tea ceremonies with usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea) in Amsterdam, Groningen, Barcelona and Collioure. This is an unique opportunity to learn about two kinds of tea, because in most tea ceremonies only usucha is prepared. During this ceremony you can drink the usucha and koicha in a ceremonial way with the traditional Japanese sweets (wagashi) that are freshly made on the same day. You will walk away with a thorough understanding of the principles of the tea ceremony after this demonstration. A demonstration lasts 2 hours. There are 16 places available per session. You can register up to 2 days before the demonstration.
