“This matcha tea workshop was such a lovely and memorable experience. The host was absolutely wonderful—so welcoming and kind. We arrived much earlier than expected, and she graciously let us sit in her cozy café while we waited, which was such a kind gesture. The workshop itself took place in a charming upstairs nook of the café, where we sat on the floor in traditional style. It added to the authenticity and intimacy of the experience. The space was peaceful and perfect for learning the art of matcha. Our host wasn’t just a great teacher—she’s also incredibly cultured and insightful, with some amazing life experiences that she shared with us.…”
