We learned so much about matcha and how it's made. Very interesting information. Such a unique experience to be able to taste so many different types of matcha.

A One-of-a-Kind Matcha Experience You’ll Never Forget

Jennifer_L, Nov 2025

If you want to truly understand matcha, this is the experience you cannot miss. The couple who run this class are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about every aspect of matcha—from cultivation to preparation and tasting. They answer every question with care, and by the end of the class, your appreciation and understanding of matcha will grow exponentially. We had so much fun making our own matcha and trying every variety in their matcha flight—it’s truly an unforgettable, hands-on experience. Tasting matcha from multiple regions, each with its own unique flavor profile, is something rare that you won’t find anywhere else. Beyond their expertise, they are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and personal experience that feels like learning from friends rather than just instructors. Whether you’re a matcha enthusiast or simply curious, this class is an unforgettable journey into the heart of Japan’s matcha culture. Highly recommended!

Ultimate Matcha Experience

Serena_M, Aug 2025

If you love matcha then you will definitely love this experience. However, even if you're undecided about matcha this is a great way to not only explore the different types and flavour profiles, but to also understand more about it's history and the process of making matcha- from planting all the way to brewing. You will get to sample so many types of matcha that this experience is definitely value for money. Chisei is extremely knowledgeable about all things matcha and made learning about it interesting. I'm not a matcha lover but I still really enjoyed this experience.

Must do if you like matcha

Brad_W, Jun 2025

It was very fun to learn about green tea from planting to tea cup from an actual tea farmer. I would recommend this class to anyone that enjoys tea. Sampling all the different types of matcha was very unique and fun, and learning the correct technique to make matcha was a great experience. The tea cookies were a delicious treat too!

A unique and touching experience

Nabeel_M, Jan 2025

This was a lovely experience at a tea bar with Chisei, Rina, and their crew. I was so surprised by all of the matcha as it was quite different than the ones available in western stores. You will also notice major differences between each example you drink. While Chisei will explain to you everything you need to know about green tea and matcha, if you are curious, please do ask more questions, as I did. Chisei is extremely knowledgeable and still very involved in the world of tea. You will not be disappointed. We ended up talking tea for a while after the tasting. Great, passionate people who love what they do. You can enjoy Tokyo for the lights, sights and sounds - but its soul is in the food, the drink and the people you share these with.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Nabeel-san Thank you for writing a review. We are very happy that you enjoyed our experience. Once I start talking about tea, I can't finish it at all in an hour and a half. When people ask questions like you, I get to talk more and it's fun. Also, thank you for telling us about Indian tea. Please come visit us from Vancouver to Tokyo again! Chisei
