Chinese Tea Service

For a goal to advance the Tea Lifestyle of relaxation and healthy living,
we started Chinese Tea Service with our deep understanding of Chinse Tea Culture.

Chinese Tea Ceremony

Chinese tea ceremony is quite a different way to drink tea compared to either the traditional English style or Japanese tea ceremony.

The art of drinking and serving tea plays a major cultural role in China. It inspires poetry and songs. Mutual love of tea cements lifelong friendships. You don't have to wait till cold winter is here. We guarantee that you will enjoy the tea ceremony all the year around,

Chinese Tea Ceremony is not related to religion. Each step is meant to be a sensory exploration and appreciation.

Chinese Tea Party

Planning an event?

Tea pairs well with food and offers a tasteful alternative to alcoholic beverages at any party or gala reception
Tea menus are custom designed to blend with your menu and party atmosphere
Tea at the Wedding Ceremony - Entertaining guests, served tea alongside tea snacks. " It was a common belief that once the seeds of a tea tree was planted, it could not be moved. Moving the tree would mean death for the plant. Thus the drinking of the tea symbolized staying true to one person throughout one's life."

Testimonials

Every tea ceremony I enjoy under May's hospitality enhances my appreciation of Chinese exquisite culture through relaxation, joy of details, savoring the tea and sharing the wonderful experience with my favorite people. I highly recommend this for those who wish to learn to enjoy all the details of tea.

Nadia Mansour

I have never participated in a tea ceremony of any kind. I didn't know what to expect, but was looking forward to an experience that differed from my daily routine in suburban Richmond, VA. May Bradshaw provided a wonderful setting for my fellow participants and I to experience a Chinese tea ceremony, learn about Chinese culture and most of all, relax--something I neglect to do on a regular basis. I appreciated May's attention to detail, not only in the presentation and preparation of the tea, but in the decor of the tea room, offerings of tasty appetizers and her gentle ability to engage us in conversation. I have taken May's suggestion to smell the tea before drinking it to heart--just another way to incorporate a bit of relaxation and appreciation into the hustle and bustle of our 21st century lives.

Thank you.

The Chinese Tea Ceremony was a delightful way to learn about a new culture with all the senses. May does a wonderful job of explaining customs, objects, and edible items, and it is a unique way to enjoy both old and new friends. I’d recommend that anyone interested in diverse cultures and tea, or anyone simply up for a new experience, turn to May for her gracious hosting skills. Come prepared to unwind and forget your troubles.

PS: The various products for sale at the end of the Ceremony are very reasonably priced.

This was my first experience with a tea ceremony of any kind. It struck me as a good way for anyone to get exposure to a different aspect of Chinese culture, and it introduced me to a new way of recognizing and appreciating a good tea.

Please know that I think your conduct of the tea ceremony, descriptions of the different types of teas, the methods and vessels used in preparing them, and the proper way to savor them were all part of a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon for me and my lovely companions.

Thanks again,
