Cha Dao | The Way of Tea |

  • What is Cha Dao?

    Cha Dao is a transformational practice that offers a path to Self through silence, stillness and the powerful connector known as Tea. As we sit with tea in an intentional ceremony we begin to silence our minds and begin to listen to the sound of our soul.

  • First Kettle Tea Hut

    An intimate and sacred tea space located in Centreville, Virginia, set up at my home is open to the community. We offer regular tea ceremonies, a place to purchase tea from Global Tea Hut, and teaware gathered from pottery artisans and tea lovers worldwide. The exchange is $22 per group sit.

    We are honored to share this tea ceremony with permission and blessings from The Global Tea Hut teachers.

  • About Global Tea Hut

    We practice and share tea ceremonies as taught by our teacher Wu De under the lineage of Global Tea Hut.

    Global Tea Hut is located in Taiwan and they ship living tea and teaware worldwide.

Experience a Tea Ceremony

Private Tea Ceremony

A private tea sit is a wonderful way of experiencing a tea ceremony in a small group or 1:1 setting.

Who should consider a private tea sit?

  • If the group tea ceremony date/time doesn’t align with your schedule

  • A great way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or a personal milestone

  • Anyone interested in deepening their Cha Dao practice so this allows for 1:1 time after the ceremony for questions (Please note I don’t have permission to teach ceremony or Cha Dao but would be honored to connect you to teachers or other resources)

The exchange is $38 a person.

For large private group ceremonies, please send me details of your event so we can discuss the exchange.

For offsite tea sits and collaborations with yoga studios, exchange varies. Please send me details of your event so we can discuss the exchange.
