Captivating Tea Ceremony

Wonderful experience, matcha was flavorful and the ceremony was captivating. We were able to ask questions afterwards and learned so much about the tea ceremony history and the tea itself. Highly recommend!

The tea ceremony was in one word, exquisite. The whole experience felt like she invited us into her Japanese home steeped in cultural humility and tradition.

Great tea ceremony

Such a great experience, our guide was very knowledgeable and professional and so kind. She took the time to answer a lot of questions about a tea and it was so amazing. For a family of four with an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old and it was a great experience.

Tea-riffic!

Great experience

I can only say one thing - wonderful. The environment was very pleasant and the instructor took a lot of time for us and our questions. She spoke very good English and explained ales after the tea ceremony. She was also happy to answer general questions and her cheerful nature was refreshing.
