Kyoto: Meditație la ceremonia ceaiului: Prepară-ți Matcha cu un maestru de ceai

Our instructor Hana made our tea ceremony a very memorable one. She taught us not only about the ritual of the tea ceremony, but also to be present in the moment. I highly recommend this ceremony to anyone who is interested in learning more about Japanese culture, or just wanting to have a fun, educational, and memorable experience. Thank you Hana.

Our family of four had a wonderful experience at the tea ceremony with Hannah (spelling?). Her presentation was beautifully performed and explained, and she was willing to answer any and all questions. She was very polite and kind, and you could really tell how much thought she put into her preparations and execution of the ceremony. I enjoyed learning all the nuances of the ceremony, and the matcha was delicious as well. I was able to buy a set for myself at the store, and I look forward to trying to recreate the ceremony at home.

Such a fun and neat experience! We learned so much about the traditional tea ceremony and all of the details that go into it! We also got to buy the matcha that we had during the ceremony! highly recommend!! Hana was the most amazing host and teacher!

Being in this traditional Machiya was wonderful and watching the tea master demonstrate the tea ceremony was mesmerizing. How graceful! Very informative and having a sizeable group the casual atmosphere was just right for the setting. They also use quality organic tea and supports regional produce. Did I mention how beautiful the Machiya is and its display?

Superbe expérience de cérémonie du thé. J’ai réservé à la dernière minute pour une personne et j’ai pu me greffer à un groupe. J’ai appris l’histoire autour de la cérémonie du thé, la façon de le préparer ainsi que la façon de le boire dans les rôles de celui qui le prépare et celui qui le reçoit. Je recommande de vivre au moins une fois cette expérience.

Our tea ceremony experience was spectacular, with our host, Hannah, showing us what it’s like to host and be a guest in a traditional ceremony. She was so warm and welcoming, and you could tell she loved to share her knowledge of the tradition. There is so much more to drinking match than just the tea. It was also a great meditative experience before a busy travel day.

Hana was a great host. It was a informative ceremony. We learned the foundations, got to view a demonstration, and enjoy the tea we learned to make (with a sweet treat). As a solo traveler it was a great activity to be a part of a group even if for a short time. I would reccomend this activity. The matcha itself was so vibrant and high quality I went ahead about bought one to take home!

We had a wonderful experience at this tea ceremony. It was our first time attending one and our host was very kind and informative. Nothing felt rushed. lasted a little over an hour. would recommend to others.

Ceremonia ceaiului matcha a fost atât de distractivă și informativă! Instructorul nostru a fost amabil, bine informat și deschis la orice întrebări, ceea ce a făcut experiența captivantă. Îmi place matcha și am decis să învăț cum să-l prepar corect, așa că am cumpărat kitul lor cu un bol, un tel, o linguriță specială și altele. Am explorat arta și conștientizarea matcha, și mi-a plăcut să aud toate faptele fascinante. Fiecare pas s-a simțit intenționat și calmant, oferindu-mi o apreciere mai profundă pentru această practică tradițională. Dacă ești un iubitor de matcha, recomand cu căldură această experiență pentru a te bucura pe deplin și a aprecia matcha!

one of my favorite experiences of our entire trip! we got so lucky, my sister and I were the only ones who signed up so we got a private lesson!! the instructor was so sweet and friendly, she loved that we wore our kimonos and hyped us up ☺️
