“The Way of Tea” Ceremony at Yume Japanese Gardens

Celebrate Japanese traditions over a warm bowl of matcha.

(GMT-07:00)

Embrace one of Japan’s most distinctive rituals as Yume Japanese Gardens of Tucson hosts “The Way of Tea” from 1 – 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 9.

If you’re not sure if this is your cup of tea, consider this: a master devoted to the art and spirituality of the ceremony will be serving you traditional Japanese treats and a bowl of matcha (which is a premium powdered green tea) — all while sporting a classic kimono.

Once it’s whisked in a bowl with hot water, the matcha steals the show with it’s frothy, bright green appearance and its nourishing flavor.

Tickets are $15 per person to attend the tea ceremony, but that does not include the regular admission fees to enter the garden. You can check out the full list of admission prices at yumegardens.org.
