Japanese Tea Gathering: First Breath of Spring

With tea master Chizuko Sueyoshi and members of the Japanese Tea Practitioners of Durham

Join us for a moment of respite in the Duke Gardens teahouse, where you will experience the centering calm of a Japanese tea gathering in the Urasenke tradition. Enjoy the aesthetics, poetry and serenity of this rich tradition over an enticing bowl of whisked green tea and a Japanese confection.  Guests will be escorted on a 15-minute walk to the teahouse, where seating is on the floor unless a chair is requested upon registration by emailing GardensEducation@duke.edu. For ages 12 and up.

Fee: $68; 20% discount for Duke Gardens members with discount code.

Parking: Parking included. Directions will be included in a program reminder email sent the week before the program.

Location: Onsite at Duke Gardens.

Accessibility: This is a small group program that takes place partially seated indoors and partially outdoors, traveling on a combination of paved and unpaved paths with some uneven surfaces and moderate inclines.

Please note: Construction for the transformative Garden Gateway Project is in progress. The Doris Duke Center and main visitor parking lots are closed for the duration of construction.
