International Tea and Incense Cultural Exchange Presentation

One week before Chinese New Year, our Glamgical team got to experience a beautiful Asian cultural event, the 2018 International Tea and Incense Cultural Exchange Presentation, hosted by the American Incense Culture Association and American Tea Culture Research Institute. The event was held in honor of Miss Chen Rusi, renowned traditional Chinese art master, who was awarded for her contributions to the Tea and Incense communities.

Born in China and having lived in the United States for many years, Miss Chen has explored the world of incense burning and tea making and its significance in not only the Chinese culture, but many other cultures around the world.

In the ceremony, Miss Chen performed in her traditional Chinese style, whilst beside her the traditional Japanese and Korean methods were also demonstrated. All styles proved highly aesthetic in the beautiful way the women gracefully performed their different practices. Miss Chen was clearly highly skilled in her elegant maneuvers, showing off her attention-to-detail and sharp precision in handling her tools and creating this exquisite art.

After the ceremony, Miss Chen was invited to speak about her background and the importance of these rituals in her life and culture. She was proceeded to be awarded by the heads of the organizations for her services and expertise in her work.

Miss Chen continues to keep traditional cultural practices alive through her work, and is most deserving of this high accolade.
