Tea with Lin

Saturday Tearoom

Tea with Lin

It (Teaism) is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.

-- By Okakura Kakuzō "The Book of Tea" (1906)

Tea began thousands of years ago as a medicine and grew into a beverage. It can seem such an insignificant thing in our daily routine that we often forget to activate our senses while drinking it.

Preparing tea in the Gongfu Cha method and savouring it, sip by sip, is a practice of slowing down, becoming aware of our surroundings, and connecting with our body in a mindful way.

In our intimate Chinese tea session, Lin carefully brews for you the finest, most delicate, whole leaf tea from China and Taiwan. With her warm, tender persona and her passion and understanding of tea, this sensory experience will transport you and let your mind unwind before sending you off with love and protection.

They follow the tradition of the Zen-Dōjō, but are not connected to any particular organisation. Their main practice is zazen, sitting zen meditation.

You are welcome to participate the zazen. There is a small participating fee (either par session of 4,- euros, or monthly).
