London & the South East
A private tea ceremony in London
A silent, sublime Gongfu Cha tea ceremony hosted in your hotel, spa, private members' club or space — an hour of tea meditation that guests remember and talk about.
THE RITUAL
Tea as a meditation
A Gongfu Cha tea ceremony is simply tea made with complete attention. The pot is warmed, the leaves are woken with a first rinse, and the tea is poured in many short infusions, each one a little different from the last.
Guests are invited to sit, breathe and taste without hurry. In a city that rarely pauses, an hour spent this way settles the nervous system and often leaves people clear-headed and quietly uplifted.
This is a private tea ceremony rather than a public class, so the ritual is shaped around your guests and your space.
45 to 120 minutes
From a 45 minute grounding ritual, to a full 2-hour experience complete with confections, or a savoury bite, on request.
Up to six guests
An intimate circle, so everyone is served attentively from the same pot.
Rare, fine leaves
Puerh, oolong and white teas chosen for their notes, depth and respected origins.
WHERE
Stand out spaces across London
The ritual travels well. It has a home in hotel lounges and private suites, spa and treatment rooms, garden rooms, members' clubs, wellness studios and private residences — anywhere a small group can sit together quietly.
Everything needed is brought and set for you: teaware, leaves, water and the unhurried atmosphere. Sessions are hosted throughout London and the surrounding counties, as one-off events, guest experiences, retreat programmes or staff wellbeing days.

OCCASIONS
London occasions that suit a tea ritual
A tea ceremony is a versatile addition to many London hospitality moments. It can be booked as a welcome ritual for guests arriving at a hotel or retreat, a mindful interlude during a spa day, a private experience for a members' club evening, or a wellbeing offering for staff and corporate teams.
The ritual also works beautifully for private celebrations, product launches, gallery openings and intimate dinners where hosts want something quieter and more memorable than a typical reception.
