Outline

Take a deep breath, relax your mind, and reflect on yourself—there are times when you suddenly feel like stopping in the midst of your busy daily routine. It is at times like these that tea time gently accompanies you. Why not incorporate some time into your daily routine to soothe your mind and body with tea?

Come experience a new form of "tea and wellness" through six seminars and workshops led by six instructors.
