My mom & I had a wonderful tea experience! We learned how to prepare tea & tea etiquette. The aroma & flavor were both amazing. I truly enjoyed every moment. Everyone who worked there was incredibly kind and welcoming. they were so friendly & nice. They made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Beautiful ceremonial matcha tea learning experience! Our guide was informative and kind in showing us the traditional ceremony and teaching us to make our own matcha tea.
It was such a nice experience! My family and I loved the demonstration of a tea ceremony, it was very informative. It was also really cool to have a go at making matcha how it is made at ceremonies! Definitely recommending this experience to anyone.
Really enjoyed learning about traditional tea ceremony. Also got to make our own Matcha. Would definitely recommend.
This was an amazing experience! Everyone was so kind and explained all the steps and procedures of kintsugi in a beautiful way. Getting to take home our very own gold leaf bowl was the cherry on top of the already fun experience. Thanks Momoson!
Choice of tea ceremony for 45 minutes. It was perfect, clear explanations and a friendly setting. We had chosen the option of Kimono rental in order to be immersed. A more ceremonial option for two at around €125 for both.
Had a great time at this experience, the tea master was very knowledgeable and keenly provided deep and thoughtful answers to all the questions from our group. The kimono rental was also very convenient and we got some great pictures out of it
My daughter and I had an amazing experience gaining a clearer understanding of the beauty of a Japanese traditional tea ceremony. She was so happy that she now will be able to make her own traditional cup of matcha…the goal of her visit.😋
Great experience, definitely helpful and informative to anyone willing to learn more about this great ancient and noble tradition.
Beautiful experience of tea ceremony in Kyoto. The tea house is tucked away in a little alley and was so peaceful compared to the crazy streets of Kyoto. The lady who demonstrated the tea ceremony was lovely and welcoming and very good at explaining. We enjoyed making our own matcha with her. Great experience. Highly recommended!
