Caption: Looking for a truly unique experience in Amsterdam? Then you should visit Moychay. At this Tea Culture Club, you can experience authentic tea ceremonies. They have three ceremony rooms: a Japanese one, a Chinese one and a Taiwanese one. We indulged in the Chinese tea culture and were so surprised by their thoughtful traditions. It all revolves around attention, which we absolutely love.
Besides hosting tea ceremonies, you can also buy premium teas directly from the farmers: red, white, pu-erh, green and black teas. They have more than 250 teas from 13 countries available. Along with the teas, they also have a large teaware collection: handmade cups, teapots, gaiwans and anything you need for your own tea ceremony (including adorable tea pets!).
