Recent reviews of Ikebana Flower and Matcha Tasting Workshop

  • 5/5 from Parry Chu, attended Mar 2026: Such a lovely, intimate hen do experience ‍️ Sally’s ikebana workshop was beautiful – she brought along seasonal flowers handpicked on the day and was very attentive! She also shared her knowledge on the history and principles of ikebana and made sure everyone felt looked after Mariko’s matcha session was just as delightful – engaging, and we got to whisk our own matcha while tasting two different varieties. She also treated us to homemade matcha cake and a delicious yuzu sweet from Japan So if you’re looking for something cute, relaxing, and a bit different, we'd definitely recommend! Just remember to bring your own container to take your flower arrangement home – or Sally can wrap it up for you like a bouquet
  • 5/5 from Dominique Seyi, attended Jul 2025: Loved this class! It was so interesting learning a bit about the history of matcha, and ikebana - two things I didn’t really know much about before. It was a great way to spend a Saturday evening, 5/5 ️
