Delving into Oolong Tea from Taiwan
Saturday, March 17 (10:30-13:00)
Este taller de té de 2,5 horas está dirigida a aquellos que quieren profundizarse en el gran mundo del té oolong a través del país que más se ha especializado en esta categoría de té: Formosa (Taiwan)

El té oolong representa la categoría de té más amplía, reuniendo tés con muy poca oxidación como el Baozhong o Pouchong a tés con baja, media o alta oxidación y con varios niveles de tueste.

El propósito de este taller es aprender bien que es el té oolong, cuales son sus máximas representantes en Taiwan y como se diferencian entre sí. Para esto haremos varias rondas de degustaciones donde nos enfocaremos nuestros sentidos en percibir sus diferencias y similaridades.

Full Moon Tea and Sound Experience with Sonando道
Michie Kuwashima: Tibetan bowls; Guillermo Rizzotto: Guitar sound textures
Saturday, March 31 (Two Sessions 19:00-20:30 and 22:00-23:30)

The full moon tea ceremony is the perfect opportunity to relax, meditate and release everything we no longer want, inviting change into our lives, shedding light on everything we no longer need and letting go.

This session will be extra special as the tea ceremony will flow accompanied by a live sound experience performed by Sonando道

Sonando makes sound scapes that lead us to our Inner Silence. Tibetan bowls played by Michie Kuwashima and ambient guitar textures by Guillermo Rizzotto fuse together with the vibrations of the participants, inviting us to a meditative space where each encounter is unique and ephemeral, just as in life… or as we tea people would say “ichi-go ichi-e” (one encounter, one chance)

We invite you to live the present, where we’ll hold space for something to emerge and transform towards simplicity and oneness.

We will begin with a short welcome and introduction before commencing. We will then proceed with the tea ceremony, sharing some bowls of tea in silence. Lastly, we’ll save a little time for questions and for sharing our experience etc.

Limited Seating. Reserve at Čaj Chai Barcelona Teahouse. 25€.
