The session begins with a clear and insightful introduction to the cultural background and philosophy of the tea ceremony. You will then observe a demonstration by the host, where every movement is performed with care, precision, and intention. After that, you will prepare your own matcha, guided step by step.
By the end of the experience, you will not only know how to make matcha, but also gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture — and experience a sense of calm.
This experience is an ideal experience for those who are looking for something more meaningful than just a typical tourist activity.
2 bowls of Matcha (one by the host, one made by you or with a companion) and traditional seasonal Japanese sweets are included.
You may also continue the experience at home—preparing matcha for yourself or for someone special—using carefully selected tea bowls and matcha available for purchase at the venue.
This is tea ceremony experience only and group session with other guests.
