Our Story

I have loved matcha for a long time, originally from Thailand, when I was in Japan I studied tea ceremonies from tea masters. Since moving to the UK I discovered that despite being a rising trend people were not appreciating the rich history and philosophy behind matcha. That is why we started creating matcha tasting experiences for the UK public to enjoy. The experiences are similar to what you would find in a wine tasting session. We take participants through the history and philosophy of matcha before demonstrating that matcha is a nuanced and refined product with different varieties coming from different regions of Japan. Guests get the chance to try different matcha, pair with wagashi as well as prepare their own matcha in the traditional way. It is a great experience for understanding all the senses when tasting a refined quality product and learning about the history and variety of matcha.

Why We Love Teaching

Teaching matcha tasting is about more than just sharing knowledge — it’s about creating moments of calm, connection, and curiosity. There’s something truly rewarding about watching someone whisk their first bowl of matcha, or discovering the difference between different cultivated varieties. These experiences bring people together, slow time down for a little while, and spark meaningful conversations.

Something many people might not realise is that traditional matcha ceremonies aren’t just about the drink — they reflect centuries of philosophy centred around concepts like harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. Every movement, every utensil, and every sip has meaning. We’re passionate about honouring that, while also making it approachable and welcoming for modern audiences.
