Hangzhou Song Dynasty Tea Whisking and Incense Tablet Making

In Hangzhou, spend half a day living the way people did in ancient China – quiet and full of little rituals. Sit down, make an incense tablet, whisk a bowl of tea, and enjoy a few traditional pastries.

Your teacher will guide you step by step: mix the incense powder, knead it, press it into a mold, and finish your own incense tablet. Then whisk tea until fine white foam appears – smell the aroma, look at the color, and take small sips. A few traditional pastries sit nearby – one sip of tea, one bite of pastry – and time slows down.

Take your handmade incense tablet home. It gives off a natural fragrance – wear it or hang it up. Every time you smell it, you'll remember that quiet, relaxing half-day in Hangzhou, with a touch of ancient elegance.

Make your own incense tablet and take Chinese elegance home. Learn traditional Chinese tea whisking and feel the calm elegance. Taste the tea you whisked — its color, aroma and finish. Enjoy traditional Chinese pastries with tea, bite by sip.
