A Taiwanese Two-Cup Tea Ceremony

Tea as a Way of Sensing. A Taiwanese Two-Cup Tea Ceremony Tea is a meeting of plant, water, fire, earth, time—and the senses. In this intimate two-hour ceremony, we explore Taiwan’s unique two-cup method—one cup for aroma, one for taste—slowing perception into meditation. We will taste three signature teas from a Taiwanese tea master and roaster whose work explores the transformative element of fire: 野放凍頂 Wild Dong Ding — Drinking the Landscape A wild expression of Taiwan’s iconic Dong Ding Oolong. 素裡紅妝 Su Li Hong Zhuang — Hidden Beauty True beauty and knowledge need not announce themselves. 拉拉山野放 Lalashan Wild Oolong — Between Heaven and Earth Rooted below, open above—standing between earth and sky. Includes a brief introduction to Taiwanese tea, meditation, and guided sensory practice. Everyone is welcome. Please come without perfume or strong fragrances. #tea #taiwan #meditation
