Matcha Experience Workshop in Sydney

Matcha Experience Workshop in Sydney

This workshop offers an approachable introduction to Japanese matcha and tea culture, hosted in collaboration with a table-style tea ceremony instructor and Tokyo Handa-En, a long-established Japanese tea specialist.

Participants will be guided through the basics of Japanese tea culture in a relaxed, table-style setting. The session begins with a brief introduction to the history of Japanese tea and an overview of chado (the way of tea), followed by an explanation of what matcha is and how it is traditionally enjoyed.

You will then learn how to prepare matcha step by step and have the opportunity to whisk and taste your own bowl of matcha. Traditional Japanese wagashi will be enjoyed alongside the matcha, offering insight into the seasonality and craftsmanship behind Japanese tea.
