In this unique experience, you’ll take part in a peaceful Chinese tea ceremony to savor two premium teas. We will brew each tea multiple times using the Gongfu Brewing method and guide you to appreciate the multiple layers of its flavors.
Each Chinese Tea Tasting session features teas specially selected for the season. For this session, we’ll brew three precious White Teas that showcase the signature flavors of all three main types of white tea—Baihao Yinzhen, Baimudan, and Shoumei:
Wild Baihao Yinzhen—Delicate taste born of wildness; from the birthplace of Fuding white tea
High Mountain Baimudan—"King of Peonies" grade; the essence of distant mountains
Autumn Harvested Shoumei—A refreshing lightness; the tranquility of an autumn breeze
This session offers a unique opportunity to explore and compare the nuances of Chinese green teas.
