Your journey begins with the philosophy behind the tea ceremony: ichigo ichie — this exact moment, this cup of tea, this room, will never happen again. Every encounter is unique and precious, and it's the spirit you'll carry through the whole tasting. Approx. 10 min.

Learn what sets matcha apart from every other tea: shade-growing, hand-picking the youngest leaves, and stone-milling them into a fine powder. Understand the real difference between ceremonial, premium, and culinary grade — and why the classification is more marketing than tradition. Approx. 10 min.

Sift, pour, and whisk your own bowl of matcha using the chasen, guided step by step on water temperature and technique. Finish with the health story behind the leaf, then take your favourite matcha — and your tasting cards — home with you. Approx. 15 min.
