  • Very patient tea ceremony instructor

    We were given a lesson from a very patient instructor on the steps of the tea ceremony. Despite our errors, she guided us to perform the activities ourselves through an interpreter. There were a lot of laughs as well as a serious side. It was a great way to learn about this cultural activity. We did this in conjunction with the calligraphy class as well as the flowing noodles. It was nice to be able to group the activities together. We would highly recommend The Space activities.

  • Not quite what we expected

    Whilst we enjoyed our experience and the staff were very friendly it wasn’t quite what we expected for the cost. Ceremony was not in a traditional setting and we thought that we would get more than one cup of tea.

  • Underwhelming experience

    Was interesting to learn the heritage of the tea ceremony process . Was a little underwhelming as an experience as expected maybe options to taste different teas . Not sure was value for money given setting.
