Good to know
This suits anyone curious about tea culture, meditation practices or authentic Asian traditions—no prior knowledge needed. It's also a good fit if you want a calm, seated activity rather than something physically demanding. Be aware the experience involves sitting for the full 90 minutes, so limited mobility may be a consideration. The location has public transport nearby, though you'll want to check specific routes and timing. The session includes teas and snacks; confirm whether drinks or lunch are available separately if you're planning a longer visit.
