Special Instructions
The Korean tea ceremony, practiced in Korea for more than a thousand years, features the ease and naturalness of enjoying tea in an easy, formal setting. It was inspired by the Chinese tea ceremony. Tea ceremonies are being revived in Korea as a way of finding relaxation and harmony in the fast-paced new Korean culture and a continuation of the long tradition of intangible Korean art.
