TEA EDUCATION

“The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism in the ordinary acceptance of the term, for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry since it defines our sense of proportion to the universe. It represents the true spirit of Eastern democracy by making all its votaries aristocrats in taste.”
"The Book Of Tea" Kakuzo Okakura (1906)

This section is dedicated to tea education programs, which will help you to understand tea more deeply and professionally. Since 2016 I refined my tea school's program to make it more productive and understandable and now ready to present you with something unique. The main idea is to build a strong foundation to understand the basics.
THE ART OF TEA
LEVEL ONE
Twice a year we arrange an express course consisting of 10 unique classes to give you a complete understanding of tea, and high tea culture and show you the life behind the scenes of the tea industry. For years, we have been striving to immerse participants in the culture of the East (China, Japan, Korea), trying to cultivate in our students a sense of beauty through understanding the deep traditions of these countries. We have been improving our program for more than 7 years to fit in the maximum of the most necessary information, offering the students extensive tea knowledge. We will show you an amazing world of ancient culture, and innovative trends as well as teach you how to prepare and appreciate this noble drink.
THE ART OF TEA is a deep immersion into the world of Gongfu Cha (Highest Master Tea) which perfectly fits both beginners and advanced tea connoisseurs. After completing the course, you will receive a certificate of completion of the first level and will be able to join further classes for a more in-depth study of various specific topics.
In our classes, we cover topics such as:
● HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF TEA
● TEA CULTURE OF CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES
● CLASSIFICATION
● CULTIVATION, HARVESTING AND PRODUCTION
● QUALITY ASSESSMENT
● BREWING METHODS
● CHINESE TEA CEREMONY
● ARTISAN TEAWARE
● TEA TASTING BASICS
● TEA GASTRONOMY BASICS
