In our tea culture workshops, will discuss the history of tea-drinking in the Old Believers’ villages, talk about what Ivan chai is and how it is made. The workshop is carried out in a cosy house of Old Believers. We will bring the water straight from the well, make samovar tea from it, and taste the traditional cooked sugar of Old Believers.
Depending on the season, guests can also participate in the process of making Ivan chai with the hostess of Mesi Tare (summer time) or hear stories on history and the healing properties of tea while enjoying a cup of Ivan chai (autumn-winter time).

Workshops are located in the basement of Alatskivi Castle, where servants used to live during the baron-era. One of them is organised by Tanel, who crafts wonderful items with his hands: bowls, jugs, cups, and goblets.
If you want to give a go at ceramics, this is the place for you. Bring your friends and take part in the workshop where you can make a clay item of your choice. We also welcome children! Tanel will glaze the items and send them to your home once they are ready.

Be sure to book a time. If you visit the castle with your children and Tanel is at work, you can leave your children to have fun in the ceramics workshop.
