The Way of Tea at Green Gulch

Sowing the Moon Teahouse is a authentically constructed Japanese teahouse, located at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center in Marin County, California. The grounds include a traditional roji (tea garden).

Classes in the Way of Tea, in the Urasenke tradition are offered, by Meiya Wender and Scott McDougall. 

We also offer Sunday afternoon (monthly) tea gatherings which are open to the public as well private tea gatherings. To register for a scheduled tea gathering, please call the Green Gulch office: 415-383-3134.

You are also invited to contact us to arrange a tea gathering for your friends, family, school or professional group, or work colleagues. Teas can be held in celebration or commemoration, for those interested in experiencing Japanese culture, or simply as an intimate way to meet.
