THE INVITATION — The Moment to Begin
Join the Private Experience
Who leads this
I am Shane Kim, founder of KTeashop, a modern ritual tea house in Zürich.
I built KTeashop to create space for you to pause, reflect, and connect, through Korean, Japanese, and Chinese tea ritual.
Every session is designed to slow your pace, bring you back to your senses, and give you a simple hosting ritual you can repeat.
The Journey
Three courses, each a distinct tradition
The experience moves through Korean and Japanese tea culture — each course paired with seasonal confections, curated to the moment.
First Course
Korean Tea Ceremony
An introduction to Korean tea tradition — Darye. Rare teas from small family farms in Jeju and Boseong, prepared with quiet intention. Paired with traditional Korean confections.
Seasonal tea selection

Second Course
Tea Blending
A hands-on exploration. Discover your favorite aroma, understand flavor profiles, and create your own blend tea. The playful heart of the experience.
Guided blending tea session

Third Course
Japanese Tea Ceremony
Through a traditional tea ritual, guests are invited to reflect on the deeper meaning of tea as a practice of presence, care, and self-connection. Experience offers space to settle, observe, and reconnect with oneself.

Frequently asked questions

Tea Omakase is a curated tea-and-dessert experience built as three ritual moments—each inspired by Korean, Japanese, and Chinese tea traditions.
You are guided to slow your attention using all five senses: aroma, sound, texture, temperature, and taste. Each course is served with a short story that reveals the culture behind the cup.
No. This is designed for beginners and curious tasters. Everything is explained step-by-step in a relaxed way, and there is no performance or etiquette pressure. You can ask questions at any time.
Yes. Tea Omakase works extremely well for:
- private celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries, visiting guests)
- client hosting (high-touch, memorable, culturally refined)
- teams (a structured reset that improves attention and conversation)
Private editions can be adapted by duration, tea selection, dessert pairing, and the cultural story focus (Korea / Japan / China, or a stronger emphasis on one).
Yes. Tea Omakase is designed for curious beginners, not experts. It is structured like a chef’s-table tasting: you are guided through three moments (Korea, Japan, China) with a dessert pairing and a simple five-senses method that makes flavor easy to understand.
