A home for calligraphy, painting and tea

The courtyard is both Zheng Shan Tang’s Beijing tea-culture experience centre and the home of its Calligraphy and Painting Academy. Calligraphy, paintings and tea displays bring the arts into the rooms where guests meet over tea.

Tea culture, shared around a table

Zheng Shan Tang black tea is at the heart of the space. The tearooms welcome everything from a small conversation over tea to a group tasting. Individuals, families and groups can ask the store about available tea-culture experiences.

A pause inside the courtyard

Step from the hutong into a traditional siheyuan. The shade of a paper mulberry, carved stone pieces and a white-marble table offer places to pause.

On the marble vat, look for the nine lions and the wave and cloud-dragon motifs around the base. These details reward a slower walk through the courtyard.

Tearooms for conversation and gatherings

The rooms around the courtyard vary in size and atmosphere. A smaller tea table suits quiet conversation; the halls allow friends or teams to gather for a tasting. Contact the store to choose a room for your group and occasion.
