Japanese Matcha Tea Course: Self-Reflection & Meditation

Step into a world of serenity, flavor, and tradition with our Matcha Mindfulness Workshop, where you'll taste five unique matcha cultivars and explore the rich history and rituals of Japanese tea culture. Designed to engage all five senses, this experience goes beyond tea tasting—it’s a journey into self-reflection, mindfulness, and appreciation for one of Japan’s most treasured traditions.

This is not just about tasting—it’s about awakening your senses and embracing the present moment:

• Sight: Admire the vivid green of the matcha and the artful movements of preparation.
• Touch: Feel the textures of fine matcha powder and the smooth warmth of the tea bowl.
• Sound: Hear the soothing rhythm of whisking, a meditative sound that draws you inward.
• Smell: Inhale the grassy, floral, and nutty aromas that connect you to nature.
• Taste: Savor the complex balance of sweetness, umami, creaminess, and a hint of bitterness in each unique cultivar.
