Great experience
Was great learning about a traditional tea ceremony and then seeing and participating in the practical side of making the tea. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Very good tea experience.
Very good experience; she explains everything, but they also let you try to do it yourself to get both the Instagram photo and to see that it is not easy to do.

We received an...
We received an introductory lesson to tea making and the tea culture in Japan prior to entering the room for the tea ceremony. Our guide was delightful and so sweet. She made matcha first and then we had the opportunity to make it. My husband was easily able to sit on the floor…it was not a comfortable position for me and our friend so she provided a stool for us to sit on. We learned that matcha is not our favorite type of tea but we enjoyed the experience immensely.

Wonderful!
I had such a wonderful experience at this tea ceremony. I was introduced to the history behind the tradition. Then I enjoyed watching matcha being made, as well as getting to make my own matcha. I also got to try delicious Japanese dessert.
