An Afternoon In Toshinan

A form of hospitality and warmth towards guests and strangers, Chado or “The Way of Tea” is an integral part of Japanese culture, centered on the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha. This fall the Gardens extends a rare invitation to visit our Toshinan, one of the most authentic Japanese teahouses outside of Japan. Step away from the hectic pace of modern life and inside the tea house to savor a bowl of tea with hosts Ritsuko Asano and Josh Haynes along with members of the Urasenke Association of Birmingham.
