About the event
Tea is not only something we drink. It is something we practice.
This month, we explore the art of making matcha as a way of cultivating presence, attention, and hospitality. Through guided tasting, storytelling, and hands-on preparation, we'll discover how the quality of a bowl is shaped not only by the tea itself, but also by the way we meet it.
Together we'll:
Taste exceptional Japanese matchas of this year from renowned tea makers.
Learn the history of matcha and the traditions behind its preparation.
Explore traditional tea tools and proper whisking techniques.
