Private Tea Ceremony

Before your purchase, please email tea@vancouverchinesegarden.com with the date you wish to take part in this experience. We ask for a minimum of 5 days notice from the time you wish to take part in our Private Tea Ceremonies. A minimum of 2 participants is required.

Tea drinking is an integral part of Chinese culture. Since ancient times, the simple pleasure of family and friends gathering to drink tea has been practised to promote health and well-being. Savour the delicate fragrances, imagining yourself as an ancient scholar at leisure in their garden-home!

A tea ceremony offers a more in-depth experience of Chinese tea and culture. From one infusion to the other, sip by sip – observe, how the taste and aroma unfold and evolve, and how it connects to our body and mind.

Private Tea Ceremony rates include Garden admission, a 1.5-hour tea ceremony with a certified tea artist, tea snacks, a traditional Chinese teacup, a teacup pouch, and 15% off Garden products in the Eight Treasures Shop (excludes pop up & consignment items).
