What to expect
Join a unique Japanese tea ceremony experience that combines authentic tradition with a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
While traditional tea ceremonies can feel very ceremonial and formal, this experience focuses on making tea culture approachable, interactive, and enjoyable for everyone.
Meet your bilingual Japanese host in a spacious tea room and begin by choosing a beautiful yukata to wear for photos. Yukata can be worn comfortably over your clothes.
First, you’ll experience how matcha is traditionally made from tea leaves into fine powder. Using a traditional stone mill, you’ll slowly grind tea leaves by hand and discover the authentic process behind Japanese matcha culture — truly experiencing matcha from leaf to cup.
After grinding your own matcha, your host will introduce the tools and rituals of Japanese tea ceremony and teach you how to prepare matcha yourself using traditional techniques. You’ll whisk and serve your own tea while learning the meaning and philosophy behind the ceremony.
Next, you’ll create traditional Japanese sweets (wagashi), inspired by sakura or your own original design, together with your friendly host.
