Tea Ceremony at Drishti House

Progressive enlightening tea ceremony filled with knowledge and love, enjoyed meeting and conversing with people from around the world their insights on tea gave the impressive experience! Love it’

Attending a tea ceremony at Dryshtea House was truly a profound experience. Our host, Flowing River, carried out the ceremony with such warmth and intention, creating an atmosphere that felt both sacred and deeply inviting. The practice of being fully present with the tea—feeling its warmth, tasting its subtle nuances, and breathing in its earthy aroma—became a powerful meditation in itself. Surrounded by the lush, tranquil beauty of the property, I felt as if I had stepped into a timeless place, one where the rushing pace of the outside world faded away.

This ceremony was more than just drinking tea—it was a journey inward. The stillness of the space, the ritual of pouring and receiving, and the connection to the elements allowed me to tap into my own intuition while also feeling deeply connected to everything around me. It was a reminder of how simple moments, when held with presence, can become portals to something much greater.

I would absolutely recommend visiting Dryshtea House for a tea ceremony. Whether you're looking for a moment of reflection, connection, or simply a beautiful and unique experience, this is a place where tea becomes a teacher, and presence becomes a gift.

A quiet, peaceful, serene experience in a beautiful setting. The tea ceremony offered the opportunity to quiet mind, slow down the hectic/fast pace of life for 90 minutes and really be present and mindful to the experience of this ancient tradition. I’ve participated in several tea ceremonies at Dryshtea House and each time I have left with a feeling of clarity, new insight and peacefulness.

I had a wonderful experience at the Dryshtea house with River. River took me through a silent Chinese tea ceremony that was excellent. The tea was delicious and high quality. It was an experience to remember, I'll definitely do it again!

This was an exceptional experience. It’s suitable for yourself or a small group of friends… the attention to detail and appeal to the senses are what really make it exceptional. The location is so serene and meditative!

This is an amazing experience you’ll want to try. The teas are exceptional and learning about them and the history of tea was very interesting. The meditation that Flowing River offers really helped me clear my shakras and raise my vibration. It’s a beautiful garden oasis.

In a world filled with noise, Dryshtea House offers something rare—blissful presence. The traditional silent tea ceremony invited me to return to myself, to step out of the day-to-day humdrum and into a space of absolute peace and heart-centered stillness.

From the moment you enter, the world outside begins to fade in this beautiful little tea house. There's no need for words, no expectations—only the gentle sound of water being poured, the breath, and the warm presence of others sharing in the experience.

The tea is served with deliberate care.

By the end, you feel different—more grounded, more attuned, as if you’ve been gently realigned with the natural flow of things. There is no rush to speak, no urgency to move. Just a lingering sense of peace, carried with you long after the last sip.

If you're looking for something truly unique and special—whether as a gift to yourself or to share with friends and family—this is the place to be.

Attending the Dryshtea Tea Ceremony was an experience of deep presence, reflection, and connection. From the moment I stepped into the space, I could feel a shift--an invitation to slow down, breathe, and truly savor the moment.

The ceremony was beautifully curated, blending tradition with a sense of personal exploration. The tea guided us through an intentional journey of taste, sensation, and mindfulness. The ambiance and the shared silence among participants, the sound healing, beautiful snacks and share circle at the close of the ceremony created a space that felt sacred yet inviting.

What I appreciated most was how the tea itself became a meditation--each sip drawing me deeper into awareness, presence, and appreciation. It was more than just drinking tea; it was a reminder of how powerful stillness and intention can be.

If you're looking for a ceremony that reconnects you to yourself and the present moment, Dryshtea offers something truly special. I left feeling refreshed, grounded, and inspired to bring more slowness and ritual into my everyday life.

Highly recommend for anyone seeking a nourishing and soul-enriching experience.

This was one of the most transformative and beautiful experiences I have ever had. DIVINE. The attention to detail, the presence, the beauty, the quality of every element involved took this ancient tradition and made it a real living breathing modern experience. This took me into the NOW in a way I have never experienced before. There is such ecstasy in the presence to "subtle detail". It is the perfect remedy for the "rat race and distraction plaguing the modern world." I couldn't recommend it enough. Thank you, River, for all the love and passion that went into creating the space and holding the ceremony.
