Step into the world of matcha with this guided tasting and making workshop in Tokyo. Perfect for tea lovers and cultural explorers, this experience is hosted by a former Kyoto tea farmer with 6 years of hands-on growing experience.

Start with a refreshing welcome drink as you’re introduced to the history, cultural significance, and production methods of matcha. You’ll then participate in a guided tasting of 10 matcha varieties sourced from 5 major tea-producing regions in Japan.

Compare 8 ceremonial-grade matchas and 2 lower-grade powders often mislabeled as matcha abroad. You’ll evaluate their color, aroma, and flavor profiles before selecting your favorite to use in a hands-on matcha-making session.

With guidance, you’ll learn the proper way to make usucha (thin tea) using a bamboo whisk. Finally, relax with a matcha latte made from a special house blend, paired with curated Japanese matcha sweets.
