Chanoyu Japanese Tea Ceremony Course - 4 Weeks

Chanoyu - where each step of preparing tea offers a quiet path to awakening fully to every fleeting moment.



4 x 1.5 hours Location Beacon Hill Class size 1 to 6 guests   $175

Step into the serene Zuishin’an Tearooms and experience the Japanese Way of Tea in this welcoming tea ceremony workshop. Whether you’re completely new to Chanoyu, looking to deepen your understanding of Japanese culture, or seeking unique experiences in Seattle, you’ll be guided through each step with care.
Learn how to whisk a bowl of smooth, frothy matcha and the respectful way of receiving tea and traditional sweets. You’ll also be introduced to the Bonryaku tray procedure, a simplified tea preparation style that introduces the basic movements of Japanese tea preparation and etiquette.
Rather than simply watching a demonstration, you’ll have the opportunity to participate and practice yourself. Take your time, enjoy the peaceful setting, and gain a deeper appreciation for the thoughtful practices that make the Japanese Way of Tea so meaningful.
This four-week Japanese tea course is a chance to slow down, learn something new, and enjoy matcha through hands-on practice in a serene traditional setting.

In 2022, the East-West Chanoyu Center (EWCC) leased a suite in the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington (JCCCW), home to the historic Seattle Japanese Language School. The JCCCW has been a central hub for Japanese culture and heritage since the early 20th century, and EWCC is honored to share the rich tradition of Chanoyu with the JCCCW community and beyond. Construction of the new tearooms began in September 2022.
In 2023, the East-West Chanoyu Center (EWCC) installed an 8-tatami mat room, a 4.5 tatami mat room, a galley kitchen, a foyer, and an attic, and in July resumed its tea classes and activities.
The Zuishin’an tearooms proudly stand as the first public tearooms in the Pacific Northwest to offer year-round access to interactive tea ceremonies, workshops, and classes for both one-time audiences and dedicated tea practitioners.
