- Location
For over two thousand years, Chinese culture has grown a strong relationship with fragrances that finds one of its expressions into incense, as a starting point to communicate and dialogue with nature, and as a way to widen our understanding of the universe, space, and time.
Chinese fragrance culture has constantly evolved along the centuries, finding refined ways to extract the best essence from long-lasting fragrant spices changing from burning of herbs and wood to resins, elaborated burners, heating methods and fumigations.
In this event we'll taste three teas and discover the Chinese art and culture of incense through three separate fragrances, living a journey in history that begins in the Spring and Autumn periods, continues from the great Han and follows the heights of Tang and Song dynasties, over 1000 years ago, when people were paying the utmost attention to the elegance of life and daily life was inseparable from incense.
