"For a break from traditional afternoon tea, Chanoyu at the Japanese Friendship Garden offers a tranquil twist. This $110 monthly experience guides guests through the garden before diving into the art of matcha preparation and tasting Japanese loose-leaf teas. The ceremony, which runs for roughly an hour and a half, is quiet and reflective, a calm departure from the usual high tea vibe. Just note: no food is served during the ceremony and reservations are a must, since spots fill fast." - Mcconnell Quinn
