    The calligraphy and tea ceremony were especially great. Everyone was patient and lovely. Thank you!!

  • Not what I expected. You watch the ceremony but don’t participate in it.

    The tea ceremony is performed by someone else and you watch. I thought we participated in it but that is not the case. All you do is stir / froth the matcha. You get to drink the tea and have a sweet treat but the whole experience was short and felt a bit rushed. I guess it is geared for tourists. Did not really seem very authentic to me.
