Amazing experience, host was really lovely and sweet and dressed beautifully. She welcomed us and explained everything about the ceremony of tea. We learned the 4 steps and each of us got to do the ritual. We received a cup of Matcha. After we learned how to make a matcha ourselves and we all made a cup. After she offered to take a picture of us. Unfortunately, some of the other guests were laughing a bit, which seemed unfair to the Tea Masteress. I would definitely recommend this, but please be respectful.

Our Tea Master was very knowledgable about The Way of Tea. I have deep interest in tea and I wasn’t disappointed in how she handled our session. I loved how she explained the history of the tea ceremony and the value of every gesture involved in this ritual. I was amused knowing that the utensils used in the ceremony vary depending on the season. Our Tea Master speaks great English, which really helped. However, our group had many non-English speaking attendees and there were three late attendees which disrupted the atmosphere of our ceremony because instructions had to be repeated over and over again. However, I still learned so much and really enjoyed my time.

Was an absolutely amazing experience, so elegant, so much detail and meticulous steps are required to perform the Tea Ceremony. The food was lovely and elegant. Could not recommend this highly enough, if you are lucky enough to be in Kyoto, do not miss it !!!!!
