A Tea whisking workshop and tea service for the Garden Clubs of America was held on Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at the Shoya House on the grounds of the Huntington Library and Gardens.

Twelve guests were treated to ryakubon temae by Soketsu Guterres and hanto duties by Sokei Kim.  Soshin Robinson served as the shokyaku. 

Once the demonstration finished, half of the guests were escorted to the mizuya to whisk Tea while the other half remained in the Tea space to receive a small mochigashi and eventually a bowl of Tea. The guests switched roles and all were served sweets and tea.

The gentle sound of rain falling outside created a peaceful and serene atmosphere, adding to the peaceful experience for the guests.
