Welcome to Hangzhou! Spend an afternoon like people did in ancient China.
First, make an incense tablet. The teacher explains its history, introduces materials, and guides you through mixing powder, adding water, kneading, pressing into a mold, and trimming. It dries while you continue.
Next, learn traditional Chinese tea whisking. The teacher shares its history and art. You'll put tea powder in a bowl, add hot water, and whisk with a bamboo whisk until a fine foam forms.
Then taste your tea – look at the color, smell the aroma, take small sips. Light, elegant, with a long aftertaste. You'll feel relaxed.
Enjoy traditional Chinese pastries too – beautifully shaped, delicately flavored, perfect with tea. One sip, one bite – a real pleasure.
Finally, take your handmade incense tablet home. It gives off a natural fragrance – wear it or hang it up. A unique memory of Hangzhou.
Through making incense, whisking tea, tasting tea, and enjoying pastries, you'll learn about Chinese tea and incense culture, relax in a slower rhythm, and feel the beauty of traditional life.
