A Journey Through the Korean Tea Ceremony
The Art of Dado: A Deep Cultural Practice
The Korean Tea Ceremony, or Dado (다도), is a graceful practice that goes far beyond the simple preparation of tea. Steeped in history and Confucian principles, Dado emphasizes harmony, respect, and the importance of being present in the moment.
Originating during the Goryeo(고려) Dynasty, the ceremony has been passed down through generations as an expression of cultural elegance and meditative practice. For today’s discerning professionals, Dado provides an opportunity to slow down, find balance, and reconnect with a sense of purpose amidst a fast-paced world.
Through Dado, participants are reminded of the beauty in simplicity, fostering mindfulness and a deeper appreciation for life’s finer moments. The DADO Tea Lab is designed to introduce you to this rich tradition, helping you integrate its calm and focus into your own lifestyle.
Cultivating Discipline and Mindfulness: The Core Elements of the Korean Tea Ceremony
At the heart of the Korean Tea Ceremony is the pursuit of mindfulness and discipline. Each movement, from the careful selection of tea leaves to the precise temperature of the water, requires intention and focus. This attention to detail cultivates not only a refined appreciation for the tea itself but also instills a sense of inner discipline and calm. In an age where distractions abound, Dado offers a welcome reprieve—a chance to realign with the present and approach life with thoughtful awareness.
Participants will experience the serene rituals under the guidance of Tea Sommelier Shane Kim at the DADO Tea Lab, learning how to master the graceful motions and meditative flow of the ceremony. every aspect of Dado is a reminder to slow down and be mindful of one’s surroundings. The ceremony encourages not only self-discipline but also a heightened respect for the interconnectedness of all elements—the tea, the setting, and the people around you.
