Tea ceremony in the desert with Cantata varieties

Tea Ceremony in Desert

Event format

The tea ceremony is held in the evening in the desert area near Dubai. It starts 60 minutes before sunset. Duration — 2.5–3 hours. Groups are formed individually. Standard configuration: 2–6 guests, personal guide, tea master, round-trip transfer, Arabic style table setting.

Location

The tour takes place in an open area with a view of the sunset. A tent or open table setting on carpets is used. Minimal light, no urban infrastructure, clear visual horizon line. There is no car noise at the service point. The sand is fine-grained, light in color, without large stones. Air temperature — from 20 to 33°C depending on the season.

Table setting

Low stands, ceramic teapots, porcelain dishes are used. The main emphasis is on the texture, sound when pouring and the smell of the drink. The ceremony is accompanied by soft background music or complete silence (optional). Accompanying dishes: dates, almonds, light sesame crunch, still water. Alcohol and sugar are not served.

Additional varieties can be ordered 24 hours before the tour. Minimum number of participants - 2. Maximum - 12 (by individual agreement).

Equipment

Japanese scales, ceramic teapots, armud glasses, glass decanters for cold tea are used. Thermometers for brewing are contact, without a digital scale. Brewing is carried out by a master trained by a Cantata technologist.

Aromatic effect

Each ceremony is accompanied by diffusion of tea in the air. Some of the jars remain open to create a background. The effect is achieved due to the natural essential compounds in the composition of Cantata. They are especially pronounced in varieties with nutmeg, fruits, smoked shades.
