Kyoto: Meditasyon sa Seremonya ng Tsaa: Gawin ang Iyong Matcha kasama ang isang Tea Master

Ginawa ng aming instruktor na si Hana ang aming seremonya ng tsaa na lubhang di malilimutan. Hindi lamang niya kami tinuruan tungkol sa ritwal ng seremonya ng tsaa, kundi pati na rin ang pagiging naroroon sa kasalukuyan. Lubos kong inirerekomenda ang seremonyang ito sa sinumang interesado na matuto pa tungkol sa kulturang Hapon, o gusto lang magkaroon ng masaya, edukasyonal, at di malilimutang karanasan. Salamat 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.

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.

Ang seremonya ng matcha tea ay sobrang saya at nagbibigay-kaalaman! Mabait, may kaalaman, at bukas sa anumang tanong ang aming instruktor, na siyang nagbigay-sigla sa karanasan. Gustong-gusto ko ang matcha at nagpasyang pag-aralan kung paano ito gawin nang tama, kaya bumili ako ng kanilang kit na may kasamang bowl, whisk, scoop, at marami pang iba. Ginalugad namin ang sining at pagiging mindful ng matcha, at gustung-gusto kong marinig ang lahat ng kamangha-manghang katotohanan. Bawat hakbang ay ramdam na sinasadya at nakakakalma, na nagbibigay sa akin ng mas malalim na pagpapahalaga sa tradisyonal na gawaing ito. Kung ikaw ay isang matcha lover, lubos kong inirerekomenda ang karanasang ito upang ganap na ma-enjoy at mapahalagahan ang 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 ☺️

I had a great time at the tea ceremony led by Hana, it was really fascinating to learn the meanings behind the different stages of the ceremony and Hana was passionate, friendly and great at facilitating a session which meant we could openly ask questions and be curious. I would recommend to anyone keen to immerse themselves in true Japanese tradition!
