Tea ceremony demo at Dogwood Pavilion
This isn't your average cuppa but an ancient ritual.

From 10 a.m. to noon that day, members of the association, in kimono, will demonstrate the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha (powdered green tea). Participants will witness the formal preparation of tea and participate as guests. Tea and sweets will be served.
The fee to attend the tea ceremony is $5 and pre-registration is required. For more information and to pre-register, call 604-927-6098.
