Discover the Tehaus Shinkoko: Experience Japan's tea culture in Vienna!

In Vienna-Hietzing there has recently been a very special restaurant that makes the hearts of all tea lovers beat faster. The tea house "Shinkoko", operated by the dynamic duo Andreas Hagn and Susanne Halbeisen, has set itself the goal of establishing the Japanese tea culture in the Austrian capital. Looking for a place that comes up with fresh and authentic Japanese types of tea? Then the simple house at the end of a dead end is exactly the right place for you.

Here not only the well -known Sencha or the popular Matcha is offered, but also less widespread tea types such as Hōjicha and Kukicha. Each tea is imported from selected sources, which guarantees the highest quality. In addition, there is everything the heart of a tea lover desires: from stylish teapots and bowls to specialist literature and even incense - the offer is rich and diverse.

tradition meets modern

The Japanese tea ceremony, also known as Sadō (茶道), is not just a ritualized act of drinking tea, but an art form that is deeply rooted in the culture of Japan. Many of the basics of tea cultivation and drinking tea were originally taken over from China, but developed in Japan for centuries. The Shinkoko tea house promotes this cultivated heritage and offers its guests the opportunity to learn more about the art of tea ceremony. Visitors can rely on obtaining comprehensive information on preparation and tea grid. This fits wonderfully with the four principles of the tea ceremony, which were determined by sen no rikyū: harmony, respect, purity and silence [japanwelt.de reports that ...].

in Japan tea is the national drink, and consumption is closely linked to the seasons, which can also be felt in the Shinkoko. When you enter the tea house, it quickly becomes clear: not just tea is sold here. It is a place of encounter and exchange. In addition to classic tea, there are also modern drinks, such as a crossbar with fruit puree or refreshing cold brews. A new event room in the garden also enables the Japanese tea culture to be experienced in a convivial atmosphere.

a place for tea fields

The location of Jakob-Steinger-Gasse 17/1 in the 13th district may be inconspicuous, but the Shinkoko quickly established itself as an insider tip. Even if only 1-2 percent of the teas produced in Japan are exported, the operators strive to bring high-quality teas closer to Viennese: inside. The selection not only includes teas with traditional origin, but also modern interpretations that take up and revitalize the time -honored heritage.

If you are interested in the Japanese tea ceremony or just want to spend a relaxing afternoon with a cup of finest tea, you should definitely pay a visit to the Tehang Shinkoko. Information on the preparation of the teas can be obtained on site and the accessories for your own tea ceremony are also offered here.
