Traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony
Authentic guided tea ceremony in Greenwich - by the River Thames at Amitabha Garden If you’re searching for a tea ceremony in London, this is a traditional Chinese tea ceremony (gongfu style) in Greenwich - calm, guided, and genuinely educational.
What you will experience
1) A guided tasting journey (3 teas, chosen for contrast) You’ll taste three premium Chinese teas chosen to show clear differences in style and character - so you learn how to tell teas apart, not just “what it tastes like today”. 2) Gongfu brewing - made practical Gongfu brewing uses small teaware and repeated short infusions. You’ll learn the simple cues that actually matter: leaf-to-water ratio, temperature, timing, and how to adjust if your tea tastes too bitter, too light, or too flat. 3) Traditional pastry pairing The tea tasting during the ceremony is accompanied by 2 different traditional Chinese pastries chosen to complement the teas of the session. This adds another dimension to the experience, allowing you to explore how tea and food interact while enjoying a more complete introduction to Chinese tea culture.
Included
- 3 different types of premium Chinese loose leaf tea tasting
- Gongfu Brewing
- Tradtional Chinese Pastries

Cultural host · New to Kulturely
With over 30 years of experience in Chinese tea, Yiqing brings both depth of knowledge and lived connection to every ceremony. Yiqing also owns a tea farm in Yunnan, China, where the relationship between land, seasonality, and flavour is understood firsthand. Her passion began growing up in China, and later - after settling in the UK - She started hosting tea ceremonies to share the artistry, etiquette, and quiet philosophy behind traditional Chinese tea culture. Guiding guests through each step and tasting is not only a teaching practice, but also a personal one: a way to stay close to their roots, and to keep that cultural thread alive through something as simple (and profound) as a cup of tea.
