Busan: Join a Tea Ceremony & Create a Calligraphy Memento

A great way to learn about Korean tea culture, history, and calligraphy. I learned about the types of tea. The entire ceremony had a calming effect on me, almost meditative. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the beautiful city of Busan.

Lovely experience with Min. I learned the traditional way tea is prepared following both Korean and Chinese etiquette. I also practiced calligraphy which was easier than I thought it would be. Still need lots of practice but not hard to learn.

The highlight of our trip to Busan! The tea ceremony was a very personal experience as we ended up being a group of 3. Our host, Min, was very poised and brilliant at answering all our questions and providing us insights into the tea itself as well as the etiquette and history that comes with a tea ceremony. Being able to do the calligraphy at the end was the cherry on top and extremely fun especially after the calming experience of the tea ceremony.

Ms. Min is the owner of Daman Teahouse and she is very knowledgeable about Korean and Chinese ceremonial tea practices! She answered all of my questions and was very patient as I practiced the correct way to pour tea. This experience has inspired me to look more into the history of tea and to learn about different properties of tea. I also appreciated the calligraphy session after the tea ceremony. Thank you Ms. Min!

The best experience we have had in busan. The host is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. You will walk out knowing more, with great teas being tasted and an amazing calligraphy momento. An amazing place and event to find Rest and kindness. It is centered around slow and deliberate sensation for 1 to 4 people in about 2-2.5h. Maybe not for small kids.

Very good feeling with the provider! You can feel that she is passionate about tea and conveys it in a simple and suitable manner! Very soothing and calm experience!

It was my first time experiencing a Korean tea ceremony, and it was such a beautiful and interesting experience. The teacher taught me about Korean and Chinese tea, and explained the meaning behind each movement. I also enjoyed the calligraphy experience!

This experience brought a fully immersive sensory experience. It was a time of peace, quiet and reflection along with a fun and engaging conversation. If you enjoy tea, this is for you. You’ll learn about the history of tea in both Korean and Chinese cultures and the calligraphy writing keepsake is a little treasure. Enjoy a time to slow down and see, taste, smell, feel and touch all that tea has to offer.

My wife and I attended the tea ceremony and calligraphy session. Min was a gracious host who offered us a variety of teas from different countries, some of which we never knew existed! Min brims with passion for tea, including the science of making tea as well as the long, storied history of tea. Min was extremely welcoming and kind and made us feel right at home! Included in the ceremony, Min carefully curated Dasik (traditional Korean rice cakes) that were out of this world. This was hands down one of our favorite activities in Busan!!!

Was an excellent and very well thought out experience and would definitely recommend it. Got to try three different teas and understand the ceremonies behind them.
