What Happens in a Studio Session?
Each session is led by the studio team and starts with a guided matcha tasting. Next, guests learn about Japanese tea culture and how matcha is grown and made.
After that, you get hands-on time to prepare and whisk your own bowl. The session also includes comparative tastings, so you can taste how different matchas compare.
Special Events and Private Bookings
The studio also hosts special collaborations. For example, in September it partnered with Kyoto tea house Horii Shichimeien for a limited tasting event. In addition, groups can request private events through the booking page.
