Join this unique, sensory tea workshop in London, designed to introduce you to the beauty of Japanese tea rituals with a contemporary and seasonal twist. This activity is rooted in the philosophy of presence, simplicity, and sensory awareness, blending traditional Japanese tea ceremony, mindful matcha preparation, and modern tea tasting, all within a calm and welcoming environment. You will learn how to slow down and connect with the present moment through this engaging workshop.
The session unfolds gently to help you feel at ease:
  • You will start with a mini sensory exploration to calm down and ground yourself.
  • This is followed by a short guided ceremony rooted in chanoyu tradition, where you’ll observe and sip matcha in stillness and learn about the cultural significance of tea as a ritual.
During this hands-on activity, you’ll be guided step-by-step in how to prepare your own bowl of matcha. You will learn to use high-quality uji tea, a traditional bamboo whisk (chasen), and thoughtful technique to create the perfect bowl. After your whisking practise, you’ll be served a chilled or warm matcha creation featuring a seasonal fruit purée – a fresh, modern twist on this traditional drink.
Each delightful drink is thoughtfully served with a small, seasonal wagashi (traditional Japanese sweet), selected to complement the flavours of the tea.
This soothing workshop offers a restorative experience, leaving you with a deeper appreciation for the art of Japanese tea. You will take home the skills to prepare matcha and a richer understanding of its cultural importance.

Hi, I’m Mira — a tea host, creative director and founder of Alchème Studio.
Alchème Studio is a space I created to share the power of tea as a daily ritual for presence, stillness, and connection. With a background in art direction and holistic practices, I’ve always been drawn to experiences that awaken the senses and help people to slow down.
My journey with tea began during a time when I was seeking more grounding and clarity. What started as a quiet practice at home became a much deeper path. I’ve since studied traditional Japanese tea ceremony under a Japanese tea master and trained in Cha Dao with Wu De, learning to hold tea not just as a drink, but as a practice for living more intentionally.
Through Alchème Studio, I offer curated tea experiences, matcha workshops, and multi-sensory events that blend tradition with modern, mindful living. I also create seasonal offerings like our upcoming interactive time capsule tea boxes, designed to guide people into presence through the senses.
Whether you join a tea ceremony, sip matcha with us at a workshop, or simply open one of our tea boxes at home — my intention is always the same: To create a space where you can slow down, reconnect, and experience the everyday as something unique, or as my tea master would say "Ichi-go ichi-e".
