Summary: Authentic setting to experience a traditional tea ceremony. Took about 45 minutes total, and the actual ceremony took about 10 minutes. Some history of tea and the ceremony, then watch the instructor perform the ceremony, and then you get to make tea (not doing all of the aspects of the ceremony, just whisking the matcha), then time for questions. Interesting and fun.
