DIY Tea Confection–Inspired Candle Making Workshop

Discover the timeless elegance of wagashi through the art of candle crafting.

Wagashi traces its origins to the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,400 years. Known in ancient times as cha guo (茶果), guo zi (果子), or Tang guo zi (唐果子), these delicate tea confections were first enjoyed during banquets as elegant companions to tea.

According to The History of Chinese Pastry (中国面点史), the Tang Dynasty marked the rise of China’s nationwide tea culture — along with the refined tradition of pairing tea with beautifully crafted pastries.

Loved for their grace and symbolism, wagashi captures the beauty of nature: blooming flowers, seasonal colours, softly shaped forms, and calming aesthetics that bring quiet joy to everyday life.
