Tea is an important part of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures, with a long history and a significant impact on their respective societies. In China, tea has been consumed for thousands of years and has become a symbol of Chinese culture.

In this event, you will get the chance to taste the most popular and signature tea from Japan, China and Korea with pairing treats for each tea. You will also learn the ritual of the traditional tea ceremony and the significant role tea plays in each country.
