Summary: Lu was so welcoming, his home was stunning and he was overall just a great guy! He had an incredible amount of knowledge on tea, we learnt so much! Tasted a wide variety of teas and learnt about the process of making them, the teas we tasted were spectacular! He was going to show us more but we were tea’d out! Even before the experience he was more than helpful with recommendations of places to go and eat in Prague. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys tea or learning new, interesting things. I can’t thank him enough for this experience!

Summary: Had a great time with Lu tasting his tea! :-) My girlfriend got me the tea experience as an anniversary present, as I kept mentioning I'm too much into drinking craft beers lately and would love to broaden my horizons with some other great beverages better for my body 😅 Lu has been super hospitable to us, hosted us for many hours and shared a lot of his knowledge about Chinese green tea, Taiwanese oolong, and, best of all, brewed us a sample of each! Lu's got some beautiful teaware, out-of-this-world tea imported from small chinese teamakers and a great banter, we have discussed so many topics! For a tea ceremony, I felt very casual, laid-back, and just like having a good tea-break with friends. Thaks a lot for the experience, Lu! 10/10 would visit again!

Summary: I recently attended a Chinese tea ceremony hosted by Lu, and it was a great experience. Being myself a tea-ficionado for many years, i can say that Lu is truly knowledgeable about the various types of Chinese tea but also deeply passionate about sharing the traditions behind. We tasted various teas from China and Taiwan, learned about their origins, their benefits, and how the different processes can impact the final taste. It is rare to find such high quality chinese teas in Europe and i think anyone interested in fine food, wine, or even coffee, would appreciate and benefit from this experience. The serene atmosphere with beautiful teaware, clear explanations and nice conversation made it a super interesting and relaxing time. Lu is very friendly, open-minded and welcoming. Highly recommend this event for anyone interested in tea culture, or even just curious to explore something new.
