The Truth of Japanese Matcha: Tasting & Workshop at KAIHŌ

Join us for a calm, sensory workshop that brings you closer to the craft of real Japanese matcha.

In this 2-hour experience at KAIHŌ̅, you’ll move through a guided tasting of sencha, hojicha, and Japanese black tea, paired with our handmade onigiri. You’ll learn how region and production shape each tea’s flavour and character.

We’ll then guide you through a focused matcha deep-dive — tasting multiple grades side-by-side and exploring what defines quality, freshness, and balance. You’ll also enjoy two matcha sweets created for the session.
