This 55-minute private experience goes beyond making matcha. Learn through hands-on participation how the tea ceremony expresses harmony, respect, hospitality, and the seasons.
Watch your host prepare koicha (thick matcha) with premium Uji matcha, then taste its rich flavor. Next, whisk your own usucha (thin matcha) with traditional tea utensils.
Explore two authentic tea rooms, a mizuya preparation area, and a Japanese garden. Enter through the low nijiriguchi doorway and discover the meaning behind the architecture and rituals.
Guided in English by a host with over 30 years of tea ceremony experience, you'll gain a deeper understanding of Japanese traditions, aesthetics, and the spirit of hospitality.
Seasonal Japanese sweets are included. Your group enjoys a private experience, with chairs available if sitting on tatami is difficult.
