Full Description

Join over 1,500 guests who experienced this activity last year and deepen your appreciation for Japanese tea culture.

Begin the session by selecting your favorite kimono from our curated set of easy-to-wear designs. Unlike traditional kimono, which can take 30 minutes to put on, these are specially designed for quick and comfortable dressing—perfect for first-timers.

Once dressed, your tea master will guide you through a cultural lecture that covers:

The origins and differences between Japanese and overseas matcha
The unique qualities of first flush matcha, the highest quality harvest
A comparison of green tea, black tea, and Chinese tea
The philosophies of Teaism and the Japanese Tea Ceremony

You’ll use your eyes, nose, and palate to explore various matcha types and learn how to tell real matcha from imitations.

After the lecture, participate in a hands-on matcha-making session using traditional tea ceremony tools. You’ll also learn the etiquette of how to properly drink matcha.

By the end of the experience, you’ll not only understand matcha deeply—you’ll be able to recreate the experience at home.
