What To Expect

Welcome to Kyoto! Over the past decade,we’ve had the honor of welcoming more than 8,000 guests to our tea ceremony class, where we guide participants through the delicate and profound art of preparing and enjoying matcha. It’s a privilege to share this deeply ingrained part of Japan’s culture with people from all over the world. The tea ceremony is rooted in the traditions of Kyoto, where the art of tea has flourished for centuries. Every movement in the ceremony, from the preparation of the tea to its careful serving, reflects respect for nature, beauty, and harmony. At our tea ceremony class, we use only the finest matcha, sourced from a historic tea farm in Uji, Kyoto. Uji is renowned for producing some of Japan’s best matcha, celebrated for its deep umami flavor, vibrant green color, and smooth texture. The matcha used in our classes is an original blend, carefully selected for its quality and flavor. Despite the nationwide shortage of matcha in Japan,we always ensure a stable supply for my classes, allowing you to enjoy an authentic, high-quality experience with peace of mind. Additionally, participants have the opportunity to purchase our original matcha.

    What an incredibly positive & immersive cultural experience! Aya is a dedicated and wonderful teacher with deep expertise, passion and connection to the Tea Ceremony. Although just an hour long, we were talking about this visit for days and it helped grow our appreciation for Japanese culture (and Tea!) throughout our trip.
