Before matcha lattes, matcha was a practice. In this 60-minute session, you learn what it actually is — and prepare your first bowl by hand.
The Problem
"I order matcha lattes almost every day — but if someone asked me to explain what matcha is, where it comes from, or why it's prepared the way it is, I couldn't answer."
What This Session Does
The first 15 minutes cover the history and philosophy of Chado (茶道 — the Way of Tea). Where the tea comes from. Why each tool exists. What the preparation is actually asking of you. You leave with real understanding, not just a pleasant memory.
The Problem
"I want to make matcha properly at home. But I don't know which tools to buy, how much powder to use, what temperature the water should be — and every YouTube tutorial skips something."
What This Session Does
We bring every tool. You hold the chawan, use the chasen, measure the matcha — guided at every step. By the end of the session, you've made your own bowl by hand and know exactly how to do it again. We send you home with a portion of the matcha and a printed brewing guide.
The Problem
"I've been to wellness workshops before. They feel staged — like I'm watching someone perform. I want something that actually teaches me, at my own pace, without an audience."
What This Session Does
This happens in your home, with just you (and whoever you'd like to invite). No other guests. No stage. The pace is yours. You ask questions when you want. You take your time with the bowl. It is entirely private — and entirely at your level.
Ceremonial-Grade Uji Matcha
Single-origin from Kyoto. Not the blended powder in most cafés — the real thing, prepared at the right temperature.
Handcrafted Chawan & Chasen
All tools brought by HARUKAZ. You use them, hold them, learn from them — then return them. Or enquire about purchasing.
Your Own Bowl, By Hand
You don't just watch — you prepare your own bowl using the same wares, guided at every step.
Take-Home Matcha Portion
A small portion of what you tasted — so you can recreate the ritual at home. Plus a printed brewing guide.
Printed Tasting Card
A personal record of the session — the matcha, your notes, the date. A keepsake worth keeping.
At Your Home
We come to you. North York, Lawrence Park, Forest Hill, Rosedale, and surrounding areas. No travel required.
