Tea Ceremony "Bach in the Tea Hut"
(May - June 2026)
In April Japanese Tea House Naardermeer Tea Hut has opened the doors in Hilversum. The opening went very well, with many visitors coming to experience the space and the stories shared about architect Barry van Waveren and nature guide Saskia Vos.
In May and June, the Tea Hut will be open to the public every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. During these days, visitors are welcome to enter the Naardermeer Tea Hut. Haruka Matsuo will guide you through the space and share its background, materials, and story.
Haruka Matsuo invites you to a special tea gathering series, Bach in the Tea Hut, held at the Naardermeer Tea Hut at Meentwerf. As the Tea Hut is small, the number of guests is limited. Book your seat on the website https://www.japansetheepot.nl/blank/tea-ceremony-bach-in-the-tea-hut-31-may-2026
Together with cellist Gé Bartman, we will share an afternoon of Bach’s cello music and the quiet practice of Ōbaku Baisa-Ryū sencha tea ceremony. In the soft light of early summer, tea, sound and silence come together in a small and intimate setting.
Rather than matcha, in this ceremony will be served loose-leaf sencha tea in the tradition of Ōbaku Baisa-Ryū. As the tea slowly changes in flavour through each infusion, the music also gently fills the space. The goal is to create a moment where you can slow down, breathe deeply and simply be present.
