The Art Of Excellence
The Japanese Tea Ceremony at Ju-An, constitute the most authentic experience and is conducted in a traditional Buddhist temple, Jotoku-ji in the centre of Kyoto.
The Tea Ceremony was developed by Buddhist monks 500 years ago to assist with meditation. Over time, it has developed into a life-changing hobby practised by many passionate specialists, and has become a classic Japanese cultural experience. It goes beyond just the serving and receiving of tea, allowing its practitioners into a restorative interlude from the hectic everyday life.
Our guiding spirit is that of Ichigo Ichie, 一期一会, which translated into English means: a once in a lifetime encounter. In the words of one of our Guests, we endeavour to provide a real cultural experience and not just a tourist show.
Why Ju-An?
As the tea ceremony is conducted in an real Buddhist temple, it is the perfect environment to experience the height of Japanese culture, making it a real highlight of your time in Japan.

ヘルス
A Boost To Health
It is well known that matcha tea offers many health benefits, assisting in the brain and liver function as well as being high in anti-oxidants. However, there are mental health benefits from participation in a traditional tea ceremony. Most importantly, the attainment of peace.
Taking time to reflect is the core value of the tea ceremony – favouring peace in the absence of stress and discovering a deeper sense of calm. At Tea Ceremony Ju-An, we can help you understand how to truly achieve this balance.
