Join a unique matcha workshop in London, designed to introduce you to the beauty of Japanese tea rituals through a contemporary, sensory experience. This immersive tea workshop blends elements of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu), mindful matcha preparation, and modern tea tasting — all within a calm and welcoming London setting.

Perfect for those looking for unique things to do in London, this hands-on experience invites you to slow down, reconnect, and explore the art of Japanese tea in a meaningful way.

The session unfolds gently to help you feel at ease. You’ll begin with a short sensory grounding exercise, designed to calm the mind and bring awareness to the present moment. From there, you’ll take part in a guided tea ceremony inspired by Japanese tradition, where you’ll observe, taste, and learn about the cultural significance of matcha as a ritual practice.

During this hands-on matcha workshop, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of preparing your own bowl of matcha using premium Uji matcha sourced from Japan. You’ll learn how to use traditional tools, including a bamboo whisk (chasen), and develop proper whisking technique to create a smooth, vibrant cup.

After your preparation, you’ll enjoy a seasonal matcha creation — served either warm or iced — featuring a carefully selected fruit purée, offering a fresh and modern twist on this traditional drink.

You’ll also experience hojicha, a roasted Japanese green tea, prepared as a comforting latte that highlights its naturally rich, nutty flavour. Each tea is paired with a seasonal wagashi (traditional Japanese sweet), thoughtfully chosen to complement the tasting experience.

This London matcha experience is designed to be both educational and restorative, leaving you with practical skills, cultural insight, and a deeper appreciation for Japanese tea.
