Japanese Tea Ceremony
ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
The rituals of the Japanese Tea Ceremony can be cloaked in mystery to the outsider, but the focal point is simply serenity, calmness and health.
Preparing superfood matcha (the healthy green tea powder) is a peaceful activity during which you can take a breather from the rush of life.
Performed live via Zoom by our experienced Tea Masters in Kyoto, Japan, our interactive sessions will provide you with this unique tradition in its purest form.
Book Japan Impression (2 part sessions) and let us introduce you to the world of Matcha and touching upon Zen.
Or, make sure you book the Intermediate Plan to receive authentic Japanese Tea Kit and finest Ceremonial Grade matcha. A perfect opportunity to start as a novice and become an expert in recreating the tea experience and unwind at home in your own leisure.
