Taste selected Chinese teas with an instructor in a historic Shanghai villa and visit its garden. Receive a personalized Chinese name, then use brush and ink to create a calligraphy keepsake.
Step into a historic Shanghai villa with a private Chinese-style garden and enjoy an intimate cultural experience centered on two of China’s most elegant traditions: tea and calligraphy.
Begin with a guided Chinese tea experience led by a professional instructor. Learn about different types of Chinese tea, traditional tea utensils, basic brewing methods, and tea etiquette. Taste selected teas while discovering how tea is connected to Chinese hospitality, daily life, and cultural traditions.
After the tea session, continue with a hands-on Chinese calligraphy experience. Your instructor will introduce the basics of Chinese characters, brush handling, ink, and simple calligraphy techniques. You will also receive a personalized Chinese name inspired by the sound or meaning of your original name.
With guidance from the instructor, practice writing your new Chinese name in traditional calligraphy and create a meaningful keepsake to remember your time in Shanghai.
