Matcha 101: A Guided Japanese Tea Experience
Join us for a calming and immersive introduction to the world of matcha. Japan’s vibrant green tea known for its rich flavor, mindful preparation, and cultural depth.
In this hands-on, one-hour workshop, you’ll be guided through the fundamentals of matcha—from how it’s grown and stone-milled in Japan to how to properly prepare it at home. Each guest will learn how to whisk their own bowl of matcha using traditional techniques and tools, creating a moment of intention and ritual to take with them beyond the class.
Together, we’ll explore:
What makes high-quality matcha (and how to taste the difference)
The story behind matcha—from farm to whisk
Proper whisking techniques to achieve that perfect, velvety foam
How to incorporate matcha into your daily routine in a simple, approachable way
Whether you’re brand new or already love matcha, this experience is designed to be approachable, grounding, and a little bit magical.
Each participant will leave with a deeper appreciation for matcha, along with the skills and confidence to prepare it at home.
Tickets for this workshop are $40 per person.
About the Instructor
Hi, I’m Pa - founder of Sora Matcha.
What started as a simple curiosity quickly turned into something much deeper: a journey rooted in culture, connection, and community. “Sora” means sky in Japanese, a name inspired by quiet sunset runs and the feeling of openness, reflection, and possibility.
Through Sora Matcha, I partner directly with a small farm in Wazuka, Japan to source high-quality, single cultivar matcha. Every cup I serve is an extension of that relationship. Bringing the story of the farm, the ritual of preparation, and the beauty of slowing down into everyday life.
What I love most is creating spaces where people can gather, learn, and experience matcha in a way that feels both meaningful and approachable. Whether through pop-ups, workshops, or collaborations, my goal is simple: to share something that brings a moment of calm and connection to others.
