Winding Stream Tea Ceremony
Slow down and immerse yourself in a meditative Chinese tea ceremony inspired by the ancient ritual of Qu Shui Liu Shang – the Winding Stream Party of ancient Chinese scholars. In this poetic tradition, wine cups once floated along a stream, inviting improvisation, reflection, connection, and presence. Here, the flowing spirit of that gathering is reimagined as a serene tea experience.
Sit around a thoughtfully designed winding-stream-shaped tea stage on the wooden floor of Fou Gallery, adorned with carefully chosen teaware and seasonal floral arrangements.
Take part in a guided meditation, followed by an intimate tea ceremony that reconnects us with our inner selves and awakens awareness.
Savor two premium Chinese teas, masterfully brewed and thoughtfully chosen to reflect the season, paired with a seasonal hand-molded wagashi. Together, they harmonize with the season, enriching the sensory experience.
Sip from handcrafted tea cups by ceramic artist Ruth Borgenicht—rounded and textured like river stones, they invite you to connect with nature and hold your cup with intention, grounding each gesture in the present moment.
The entire experience is a quiet celebration of presence—an invitation to taste, reflect, and connect with ritual, nature, and both self and others.
