Mindfulness based tea ceremonies

Traditional tea ceremonies help you to cultivate present moment awareness, inner peace and a deep sense of connection through the intentional ritual of preparing and drinking tea.

Each ceremony lasts for approximately one hour.

Tea Space etiquette

Some things that are useful to know before arriving at Kirami Tea Space

To make your time flow as beautifully as possible, we have listed some basic guidelines and etiquette whilst in the tea space.

Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes beforehand… take a moment to gently slow your daily rhythm, and settle into the tea space.

Before entering please leave your shoes outside… along with any worries or concerns. The outside world will have to take care of itself whilst you are here.

During the meditation you will be sitting on the floor. There are cushions provided, however you are also welcome to bring your own. It is very important that you are as comfortable as possible, so please wear loose, comfortable clothing.

The meditation is shared in silence. This allows everyone to focus on their tea, and bring their attention to the present moment.

Move slowly and handle teaware with care and awareness.

Every action is treated as part of the meditation.

Enjoy the tea at your own pace. Drink as much, or as little as you like.

Take slow, mindful… sips…

You may place your bowl back on the table for each round or hold onto it throughout the ceremony. There are usually 3-4 steeping of tea offered during this time.

Please turn off or silence your phone before you step inside.

Avoid wearing perfumes or heavily scented lotions. The aroma of the tea itself is a beautiful component of the meditation.

Thank you for observing these guidelines, they very much contribute to the peaceful and meditative atmosphere of our little tea space.
