The Experience

Your session begins with a Chinese gongfu tea ceremony hosted by Yiqing, Amitabha Garden’s owner and tea host. Gongfu tea brewing uses smaller teaware, more leaves and repeated short infusions, allowing each tea to gradually reveal its aroma, body, sweetness and aftertaste.

After the tea ceremony, guests will enjoy a guided museum tour through Chitra Collection’s remarkable display of tea and teapots. Led by museum staff, the tour introduces guests to the artistry, history and cultural meaning behind historic teawares from around the world.
