Experience the ultimate form of the Way of Tea in an intimate, private setting. At a Chaji, a small group of invited guests share a full-course tea ceremony, including a meal, thick tea, and thin tea. This formal gathering is the culmination of regular tea lessons, embodying the spirit of "ichiza konryu" where host and guests create a warm, inclusive atmosphere together. Perfect for beginners, this simplified version of Chaji requires no prior tea ceremony experience.
