About Us
Camellia Teas of Ottawa provides presentations, demonstrations
and exhibitions celebrating all Tea Cultures of the World.
With a special focus on the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony
known as Cha-no-yu, Camellia House (a private residence,
open by appointment only) and its Temae (Tea practitioners)
welcome guests to experience the tranquility of this ancient
practice.
The CTO practitioners follow The Way of Tea in one
of the three cha-shitsu (Tea rooms) at Ochakai (Tea gatherings)
within Camellia House.
Camellia Teas of Ottawa was established in 2005 by Rebecca
Lyn Cragg (nee Benoit) of Ottawa, ON, Canada. For seven
years, Rebecca was trained in the Omote-Senke Way of Tea by
Mrs. Eiko Kuwayama at a Zen Temple called Sango-ji in
Wakayama City, Japan.
Camellia House is located in the Mooney's Bay area of Ottawa, ON. In a private residence, we provide our precise location to visitors upon reservation only.
Thank you for your understanding.
