Tea Ceremony

In the era that fast changes are a norm, we are confronting stress often. We can be motivated to achieve better performance under reasonable stress, but when to raise the alarm from healthy-stress to over-stress, and how to maintain a good balance in life have became a serious issue. The reality is, we are the one responsible for our own health; if we don't take time for ourselves, cannot expect other people will. We cannot control the wheel of changes around us, but we do can take time to relax our body and mind, and choose a healthy life style.

Chinese tea ceremony is not just about tea, but it is a living art through tea preparation and tasting.

Lan Ting Tea Zen Atelier is a unique oasis closes to the heart of Antwerp where you can enjoy carefully selected top quality tea from Taiwan and China, learn Chinese culture, Tea Ceremony and Chan (Zen) philosophies.
