JAPAN
Until recently, the study of tea in China has focused on specific tea producing regions within the country. But there is now a new trend to study the tea cultures of other countries.
And so in August, Hongyi Academy, the Private Life Esthetics Training Department at the Yunnan Hongruijunyi Culture Industry Investment Co., Ltd., is organizing a nine-day Tea Aesthetics Study Tour to Kyoto, Japan. The tour sold out very quickly.
Kyoto has an ancient tea history and is the ideal place to experience and study three classical Japanese arts of refinement - Koudo (the art of appreciating Japanese incense), Ikebana (arranging flowers), and the Tea Ceremony and Zen Buddhism. Hongyi Tea Aesthetics, China’s leading on-line life Aesthetics Service platform, and Hongyi Academy, both of which are located in Kunming, Yunnan, are dedicated to the promotion of traditional Chinese culture to the world.
But, said the organizer from Hongyi, “We’d like to explore the world’s diverse tea culture and learn from them.”
