What to expect

The opportunity to experience tea ceremony in English with a tea practitioner with her experiences abroad

Not only the tea ceremony activity itself, but also the room setting is authentic. This is a rare find in Tokyo.

The tearoom applied the traditional construction methods and is made of wooden materials that are specifically designed for this particular room. You will have an opportunity to discover this authenticity while learning the tea ceremony in a calm atmosphere.

The activity includes:
1. The presentation of the history of tea ceremony
2. The presentation and demonstration of the tea-making procedure called "temae"
3. The instruction of how to drink matcha green tea (both thin tea and thick tea) and how to have a close look at the utensils of tea ceremony.
※Thick tea "koicha" is served usually only at a formal tea ceremony, therefore you will have a precious experience.
4. Participants will have a chance to make some matcha.
5. Souvenirs included - Traditional Japanese items made of washi "和紙".
Thick tea "koicha" - you can experience this authenticity only here in Kugayama
