Do you ever feel like taking a break from the rush of activities and pausing
for a tasty and elegant cup of tea? That cup of tea can calm your spirits
and create a special moment in your day. And what fun it is to entertain
guests with a tasty cup of tea!
Sohga-an, situated in 57th Street in mid-town Manhattan, teaches the Omotesenke
Way of Tea. It is a peaceful tea room awaiting people who are seeking a
moment of calm in their busy lives.
The "Tea Ceremony" or The Way of Tea" may sound intimidating
and complicated, but that is not actually so. The real aim of Chanoyu is
to make our daily lives richer. The study of the various procedures and
movements involved in making and serving tea are merely means to that end.
The Omotesenke School of Tea is directly descended from Sen no Rikyu (1522
- 1591), the man who gave Chanoyu its current shape. It teaches a fluid
and natural style of Tea that is beautiful and refined. Studying Omotesenke
Tea can bring richness and pleasure to oneﾕs life. Why don't you join us
and give it a try! |
