The yaji cultural salon on the tea brewing rituals of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) was held in Copenhagen on June 22, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of China Cultural Center in Copenhagen and the 7th Copenhagen Dragon Boat Festival. The event was jointly hosted by the China Cultural Center in Copenhagen and the Culture, Media, Tourism and Sports Bureau of Shenzhen Municipality.

Since its debut on Dec 7, 2022, the tea yaji cultural salon in Copenhagen, independently organized by the China Cultural Center, has become an important international cultural exchange program of the center. This year’s yaji cultural salon introduced new ideas and brought the tea brewing rituals of the Tang Dynasty to Copenhagen.

During the interaction session, tea specialists guided participants through the seven steps of tea whisking from the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and also engaged them in making incense seals.

At the event, tea specialists and musicians from Shenzhen, Guangdong province, gave a lecture on Chinese tea culture and performed classic Chinese folk music for the guests.
