Guest Nights (Public Tea)

Chasen

You are invited to be a participant guest at any of our monthly gatherings. The Portland Wakai Tea Association under the guidance of its teachers welcomes you to the Wakai Tea Room to experience and gain an understanding of the spirit of Tea.

The ceremony is simply the preparation, serving and drinking of powdered green tea; yet within this simplicity lies the very heart of Japanese culture. In quiet setting of a garden and teahouse, guests contemplate words on a scroll, view the flowers in the alcove and enjoy a bowl of tea.

Wakai Tea Association provides to the general public opportunities to attend Guest Nights, a tea demonstration. The following is the schedule.
