The Tea Culture Research Preservation Society was established to revive beautiful tradition in the ways of
modern times by reproducing the communal Buddhist tea service (獻茶) ceremony and propagating etiquette of
drinking tea (喫茶). Various programs including tea ceremony education and the drinking tea demonstration
have been implemented.
The members have learned how to manufacture natural dyes used in manufacture of tea cups and dying of tea
clothes. They have been active in the internal and external events for popularization of tea culture by
participating in the Tea World Festival held in COEX every year and demonstrating Yukbeopgongyang. And the
Korean Tea Culture Center was built in Lingguuangsi (靈光寺), badadai (八大處) in Beijing, China and has made
a contribution to exchange of tea culture between Korea and China.
