Flow of the Tea Ceremony Experience:
・Observe the preparation of the tea (the formal procedure of making tea).
・Enjoy Japanese confections and matcha.
・Experience the process of preparing and serving the tea yourself.
The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.
How to Make Matcha:
・Put matcha into the matcha tea bowl.
・Pour hot water and whisk the tea using a tea whisk to prepare the matcha.

★★★★★Really enjoyed being invited into your home, and you showing us the Japanese tea ceremony, then we made our own tea and enjoyed some sweets. The whole ceremony was enjoyable and we would have no hesitation in recommending this for any one looking to enjoy a traditional tea ceremony. It was nice getting away from the noise of the city and enjoying a quiet moment too serve and get involved. Thank you very much
