FAQ

Can you accommodate special dietary requirements?
Where teas are offered with milk (latte style), a dairy-free alternative will be used. Accompanying treats are freshly prepared for each tasting. Please contact me at least 48 hours before your experience if you need any substitutions.
Is there step-free access?
The facility is located on the ground floor, however there are a few steps from street level to room. Apologies if this is unsuitable.
Can I purchase tea and teaware featured in the tasting?
YES! Tea and teaware are available to purchase directly after your event. Due to the delicate nature of some items, my preference is to sell in-person.

Kissako – Japanese Tea Tasting Experiences
Discover the joy of Japanese tea through a guided tasting experience designed to delight your senses and deepen your appreciation for this centuries-old craft.
At Kissako, we invite you to explore a premium selection of loose-leaf and powdered Japanese teas, thoughtfully served in beautifully crafted teaware. You’ll learn how to brew each tea to bring out its best flavour, while uncovering the stories and tea types behind every cup.
Whether you’re completely new to Japanese tea or looking to expand your knowledge, our relaxed and welcoming sessions will help you build confidence and create your own meaningful tea ritual at home.
Your host’s journey began over 25 years ago with a first taste of Japanese green tea—an experience that sparked a lifelong curiosity. That passion deepened after travelling to Japan, and later through immersive learning with tea farmers during the Global Japanese Tea Association Tea Marathon.
Today, Kissako is dedicated to sharing the diversity and beauty of Japanese teas, from everyday favourites to special varieties.
