Tea Room

"What is the most wonderful thing for people like myself who follow the Way of Tea? My answer: the oneness of host and guest created through 'meeting heart to heart' and sharing a bowl of tea."
- Soshitsu Sen Grand Master XIV Urasenke School of Tea

Come relax in our indoor-outdoor tea room. Whether you choose to lift your feet inside the lodge or to take a gentle stroll in the sound garden, our goal is to have you enjoy the ritual of tea making and a few restful moments by quieting your mind and replenishing your energy.

You might also enjoy taking a thermos of Nepali or Masala tea to your favorite spot on the mountain and return energized to face your day.

"The first cup moistens my lips and throat.
The second shatters my loneliness.
The third causes the wrongs of life to fade gently from my recollection.
The fourth purifies my soul.
The fifth lifts me to the realms of the unwinking gods."
- Chinease mystic
