2. Wednesday, 18 March, at 8pm - in Covent Garden – Tea Ceremony and Gong Bath, in ENGLISH, £18
My favourite tea fairy Kat Bambul is conducting yet another magical journey into tea and gongs. Not to be missed!
That’s what she writes about the tea ceremony herself: “Gong Fu Tea Ceremony is a beautiful and meditative ritual of preparing and drinking tea, taking it’s roots from Dao, Zen and Buddhist traditions where tea is considered as a spiritual drink. We drink loose leaf tea from the old, naturally growing trees in the wild, rich in substances affecting our consciousness and the body. High quality tea induces a deep meditative state, philosophical and creative mindset, a feeling of contentment, freedom and openness to the mystical. During the ceremony we appreciate the beauty of here & now, indulge all our senses and contemplate on tea, it’s setting, ourselves and our connection with nature. We connect with the spirit of the tea, and let ourselves flow in a timeless zone between heaven and earth.”
3. Saturday, 21 March, at 10am – Postcard Teas School - The Blues – Oolong teas from Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan, £20, ADAVNCED BOOKING is ESSENTIAL!

To mark this Tea day, I decided to make a list of tea related events that take place in London till New Year. Please feel free to add the events that you know about in the comments to this post!
1. This Sunday, 21 December, from 1 ill 4pm, an amaziпng Tea Shop The Chinese Tea Company in Portobello, is hosting a FREE Tea Tasting event. Booking in ADVANCE is required, as the shop is very small, and very cosy. Booking can be done by phone 020 8960 0096 or by e-mail: info@the-chinese-tea-company.com
I went with Juyan, the owner of the shop, on a Tea Tour to China, and saw, which farmers she gets her teas from. Most of the tea plantations are very small, family owned. With tea being plucked by hand, and processed by and in most case too! Hсighly Recommended!
