Frequently Asked Questions
What will I learn in the matcha workshop?
You taste several single-origin matchas side by side and learn to judge grades, cultivars and origins. We cover matcha’s history and aesthetics, its role in the Japanese tea ceremony, and you finish with a 30-minute hands-on brewing session.
Which matchas will we taste?
We begin with matcha by Marukyu Koyamaen from Uji, move on to hand-picked single-cultivar matchas from Nishio, and close the tasting with a rare top-grade matcha, usually from Uji or Yame. In the hands-on session you whisk an Okumidori single-cultivar matcha.
Do I need prior knowledge?
No. The workshop works for first-timers and matcha drinkers alike — we start with the fundamentals and go deep from there.
Will I prepare matcha myself?
Yes. In the 30-minute practical session you whisk matcha with chawan and chasen, with guidance you can take home.

His passion for tea led him across continents: a journey that started with selling tea online eventually led to a 9-month sabbatical through India, China and Taiwan, exploring tea at its source. It was during this journey that he deepened his appreciation not just for the leaf, but for the vessels, tools, and stories that surround it.
