Welcome to Kyoto! Over the past decade, we’ve welcomed more than 10,000 guests to our tea ceremony class, guiding them through the delicate art of preparing and enjoying matcha. It’s a privilege to share this part of Japan’s culture with people from around the world. The tea ceremony is rooted in Kyoto’s traditions, where the art of tea has flourished for centuries. Every movement, from preparing the tea to serving, reflects respect for nature, beauty, and harmony. At our class, we use only the finest matcha from a historic tea farm in Uji, Kyoto, renowned for its deep umami, vivid color, and smooth texture. Guests sip this original blend from hand-crafted bowls commissioned from Kiyomizu and Raku artisans, paired with seasonal wagashi specially ordered from a long-established Kyoto shop — all crafted to complement the flavor of matcha. Despite Japan’s matcha shortage, we ensure a steady supply so every guest enjoys an authentic, high-quality experience. Participants may also purchase our original matcha as a keepsake. Our venue is serene private home near Nijo Castle, with discreet entrance that ensures privacy and a calm setting where you can savor Kyoto’s heritage in comfort.
