Tea ceremony London - Chinese gongfu vs Japanese matcha
“Tea ceremony” in London can mean a few different things. Japanese tea ceremony is usually matcha-based and highly formalised. A Chinese tea ceremony (gongfu tea) is centred on multiple short infusions of the same leaves, so flavour unfolds gradually - sweetness, florals, roasted notes, and aftertaste can change from round to round.

If you want a tea ceremony in London that’s hands-on, flavour-led, and easy to replicate at home, this Chinese gongfu ceremony is the best fit.

Who this tea ceremony is for:
- Beginners who want a proper introduction (no tea knowledge needed)
- Couples, friends, and small groups looking for a calm cultural experience
- Tea drinkers who want to understand Chinese tea beyond “green vs black”
- Visitors exploring Greenwich and looking for something memorable (and not touristy)​
