Wuyishan Tea Culture & Zen Meditation Retreat

武夷山茶禅文化修养中心

Set within the UNESCO World Heritage Wuyi Mountains — the birthplace of rock oolong (Da Hong Pao) tea and a sacred site for Zen Buddhism. This retreat offers a deep immersion into Chinese tea culture as a path to mindfulness. Master tea practitioners guide you through the full tea ceremony: hand-picking leaves from 300-year-old tea trees, traditional charcoal roasting, and the gongfu cha ceremony. Mornings begin with Zen meditation in a 1,000-year-old Buddhist temple led by a Chan master. Afternoons: tea practice, mountain walks, calligraphy. The retreat is intentionally small — maximum 8 participants — to preserve the contemplative atmosphere. Ideal for patients combining medical procedures with profound cultural wellness.
