A path to inner calm workshop
- Five elements 
“Elements in Harmony: Tea and Wellness Rituals”
By combining hāmbîn’s expertise in specialty tea and the Spa at Mandarin Oriental Doha signature Five Element treatment philosophy, we aim to create a transformative experience that nurtures both the mind and body. 
The workshop will offer guests an immersive journey into the connection between tea, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and personal wellness, promoting both brands’ commitment to quality, holistic well-being, and enriching lifestyle experiences. 
Join us to explore the relationship between tea, the Five Elements (Water, Metal, Earth, Wood, and Fire), and their effects on energy, balance, and emotional well-being. Guests will learn how specialty teas align with each element, supporting physical and mental harmony.
