Tea Gatherings
Temae Mersi offers Tea Gatherings. These events are harmonious meetings where guests share an intimate space to partake in traditional Japanese Matcha tea (抹茶), accompanied by traditional sweets.The Tea Master prepares each cup of tea while guests savor the atmosphere—taking in the colors, sounds, and textures—and observe the centuries-old preparation techniques, which unfold as a form of meditation in motion.
Temae Mersi highlights the uniqueness of every moment, focusing on the Japanese concept of "One Instant, One Unique Encounter" (一期一会), as well as the inherent beauty of the elements that comprise the gathering.
Temae Mersi’s tea preparation style follows the Yabunouchi lineage (薮内家)—a tea ceremony style developed by the samurai class in the late 16th century.
