Great value for money and very interesting - It was a great experience and well worth the money! We were taught about the preparation, history and cultivation of matcha and got to try 8 types of matcha, 3 matcha lattes and handmade matcha sweets! Chisei was very approachable and clearly very knowledgable and passionate which made the experience so special!

A lovely experience..Matcha Magic 🍵 - What a wonderful way to end my trip to Japan! I learnt so much about Matcha.. right from the growing stage 🍃through to mastering the technique of creating a delicious warm cup of matcha! 🍵 now I have a new appreciation of all things Matcha. This husband & wife duo shared so much knowledge & skill and made delicious treats to accompany the matcha tasting experience. Would definitely recommend! Oh & you can purchase matcha making items there which I thought were cheaper than the tourist shops!

A hidden gem experience around Asakusa. - For tea lovers, this is definitely a must-have experience. The different types of matcha - even the "lower-grade" ones - were a world away from what we're familiar with in Canada. I'm someone who's very sensitive to bitterness and I was able to find something to love about each of the different teas we were provided. I never knew matcha could be smoky! The education on tea is a lot more extensive than we expected, and pleasantly so. Not a moment of it was boring, and you can really tell that Chisei knows his stuff. He was able to answer any questions and provide thorough knowledge that we were able to apply over the course of the rest of our trip and back home. His instructions for matcha making were also clear and encouraging. Alongside the matcha, we were provided with a taste of sencha, genmaicha, houjicha, and some homemade cookies. At the end of the event we were able to spend some time in the shop buying souvenirs, including matcha-making gear and tea to bring home. It's definitely best to do this in the morning instead of having coffee, but after a bit of breakfast - I definitely had enough caffeine to last me through the day. Chisei and Rina are kind and generous hosts, and far too humble. What they've built is really amazing, and I felt lucky to be able to experience it! Highly recommend! I wish I lived in Tokyo so I could come back whenever I wanted.

Must do if you like matcha - 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 - 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.

We drank delicious matcha and were also very happy to hear valuable stories! - Chisei, a former tea farmer, carefully taught me about the differences in matcha cultivation, processing, history and production areas. Matcha from Kyoto and matcha from Aichi tasted strong and delicious. The last matcha latte I drank was also excellent.

Drinking comparison is interesting! - I joined with my wife. It was very interesting to compare the drinking of matcha from different regions! We were able to enjoy the characteristics born from the differences in climate, cultivation methods and harvesting methods in each production area. It was my first time making matcha, but they kindly taught me how to make it. Matcha latte and sweets were also delicious. I bought matcha, so I'll recreate it at home! It was a good memory.

Drinking comparison of delicious matcha - While learning the method and history of matcha production, characteristics of matcha from all over Japan, we were able to actually drink and compare matcha from all over Japan, which was a very valuable experience and fun even for matcha Novices! Matcha lattes and sweets were also delicious.
