Guangzhou: Song Dynasty Dian Cha Tea Ceremony Workshop

Learn the ancient art of Dian Cha in a hands-on masterclass in Guangzhou. Whisk powdered tea into a dense, cloud-like foam using a bamboo whisk and taste your creation with sweet delicacies.
Rediscover a lost imperial art in this hands-on, 2-hour cultural masterclass celebrating Song Dynasty Dian Cha, the 1,000-year-old art of whisking powdered tea, which served as the ancient predecessor to modern Japanese Matcha.

Housed in a protected 19th-century French missionary building on Shamian Island, this space blends neoclassical colonial colonnades with tranquil Eastern tea culture. Your session begins with an introduction to the fascinating history of Chinese tea battles (Dou Cha) and the philosophy of scholar-style mindfulness.

Under the step-by-step guidance of your master, learn the precise mechanics of Dian Cha: grinding tea, slowly adding hot water, and using a traditional bamboo whisk to whip the tea into a dense, cloud-like foam. Experience the focus and tranquility that comes with this rhythmic movement, and even try your hand at creating subtle patterns on the foam.

Conclude your journey by tasting your rich, freshly whisked creation alongside traditional sweet delicacies, followed by free time to explore and take memorable photos across the historic colonnades and garden galleries.
