Secret Teatime is a Scarborough-based studio specializing in handmade ceramic wares combining utility and beauty to enhance the multi-sensory nature of tea. Inspired by the Way of Tea—otherwise known as “Chado”—co-founders Sorlie Madox and Helen Kong will lead a tray-tea Chado service tea ceremony utilizing their beautiful ceramic creations. The ceremony will feature specially imported Japanese fresh tea curated by Momo Yoshida of Momo Tea, and access to the Gardiner’s special exhibition Obsession: Sir William Van Horne’s Japanese Ceramics.
