A private demonstration of chanoyu, the Japanese way of tea
Urasenke Philadelphia
This educational organization arranges private lectures and demonstrations of chanoyu, led by teachers of the Urasenke tradition. A small wedding-adjacent gathering could center careful preparation and appreciation of tea rather than a standard drinks station.
