Google reviews from guests at our workshops.
“Beautiful and very comprehensive workshop on Matcha & Green Tea in Sydney, including history, different types, samples to taste, and the chance to brew your own matcha and sencha tea. Taka was amazing, incredible friendly and kind, and answered all our questions. The quality of the tea and utensils were outstanding, very premium. … the size of the group was great, not too many people which gave us all the chance to ask questions and really take the most of it.”
“The matcha making lesson was very informative. Recommended!”
