Discover the world of Japanese matcha in a 100-year-old traditional Kyoto machiya.
Not all matcha tastes the same. Some varieties are naturally sweeter, while others offer rich umami, gentle bitterness, or unique aromas.
In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, you'll taste and compare two organic matchas from Wazuka, Kyoto: Okumidori and Yabukita. Learn to recognize their different flavor profiles and discover which one suits your taste.
Your local host will introduce the basics of Japanese tea, including how matcha, sencha, and hojicha come from the same tea plant but are processed differently.
Next, discover the secrets to making delicious matcha at home. Learn about water temperature, the right matcha-to-water ratio, essential tea tools, and how to choose and care for a bamboo whisk.
Then it's your turn! Choose your favorite matcha and prepare your own bowl using a traditional bamboo whisk, with step-by-step guidance.
To finish, enjoy a tasting of Japanese roasted hojicha powder and discover how its rich, toasty flavor can also be enjoyed as a latte.
You'll also learn practical tips for storing matcha to preserve its freshness and flavor.
This 45-minute experience is designed for beginners and tea lovers who want to understand, taste, and enjoy Japanese tea beyond the traditional tea ceremony.
Leave with the knowledge and confidence to make delicious matcha at home.
