Introducing the First Tea Omakase in Europe

We are excited to present the first Tea Omakase service in Europe, in the beautiful city of Zurich, Switzerland. This unique concept is a passion project brought to life by my wife and me. Our journey began with our first meeting in a traditional tea room in Korea (Hanok), where we were deeply inspired by the rich culture and the connections formed through tea. My wife, passionate about crafting exquisite confectionery desserts, and I, a Korean Tea Sommelier, combine our skills to create an immersive experience that blends tea artistry, heritage and inspiring storytelling.

What is Tea Omakase?

Tea Omakase is an exclusive tea experience inspired by the Japanese concept of "Omakase," meaning "I'll leave it up to you." In this experience, guests place their trust in us to select the finest teas and pair them with our selected desserts. This curated journey offers a perfect blend of traditional and modern elements, providing a culturally rich and mindful experience that is both educational and relaxing. Beyond the tasting, we emphasize the deeper meaning of tea ceremonies and rituals, guiding guests through a reflective and meditative journey enhanced by storytelling.

Establishing a New Tea Culture in Europe: Experience & Connection 

Our Tea Omakase experience is deeply rooted in Korean tea ceremony culture, which emphasizes harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. These principles guide our approach, creating an environment where guests can connect with one another and with themselves. The Korean tea ceremony, known as 다예(Darye), is a serene practice that brings people together, fostering a sense of community and shared experience. Through the rituals of tea preparation and drinking, we encourage our guests to slow down, savor the moment, and engage in meaningful conversations.

Discover different perspective with "Experience"

Tea Selection and Pairing: Each Tea Omakase session features a curated selection of high-quality teas, including rare and seasonal varieties. These teas are expertly paired with complementary desserts, enhancing the tea's flavor profile and creating a harmonious balance. The pairing process is designed to elevate the tasting experience, making each sip and bite a journey of discovery.

Storytelling and Cultural Insights: Our Tea Sommelier enriches the experience with detailed stories about the origins of each tea, their cultural significance, and unique preparation methods. This storytelling not only educates but also fosters a deeper connection with yourself and our participants, making the experience both enlightening and engaging.

Mindfulness and Relaxation: Tea Omakase offers more than just a tasting; it is an opportunity to slow down, savor the moment, and engage in a mindful experience. This tranquil setting helps guests connect with themselves and the world around them, making it an ideal experience for those seeking mindfulness and relaxation.

A Hub for Tea Community and Heritage

Our vision for Omacha extends beyond a simple tasting experience. We aim to establish a hub for the tea community, fostering a deeper appreciation for the heritage and rituals associated with tea. By providing a platform for cultural exchange and education, we seek to build trust and create a vibrant community of tea lovers in Zurich and beyond.
