Beautiful tea ceremony. Lovely experience! She was so nice and very sweet with our 11 year old! I had changed the time on the app, but there was a mix up and she didn’t have our new time on the books. She was very apologetic and helped set up the new time. Very educational!
It so wonderful! Our tea master was so sweet and knowledgeable! She explained to us about how to respect the Japanese culture and be present. It was lovely!! I highly recommend!
Very detailed and comprehensive description of the preparation procedure in a characteristic environment
The host is called Chisato and is very kind. At the start she seemed a bit nervous but she knows a lot about tea ceremony. The whole experience was done in English but sometimes you have to make your questions simple for her. She is very friendly and doesn't make you feel silly for random little questions. The whole hour went by very quickly! I couldn't believe how fast the time went. Because I'm a solo traveller she took photos of me preparing tea for me. You're free tontake pictures at any point but I was a bit too shy to take pictures of Chisato. She uses some antique wares in her ceremony which she explains about as well.
Very sweet!! The Japanese treats and match were delicious. Really nice to feel the intention of matcha tea making. My family and I had a great time.
We enjoyed learning the rituals of tea in a very calm and relaxed setting. Our host was very patient and kind. We loved the sweet cake and matcha...yum!
It was a great private experience. Great host was so kind and accomodating to small children. Thank you for your hospitality and hosting we will not forget it!
