I enjoyed the hands-on-experience (which is why we booked it in the first place). A pleasant surprise was learning about the history and background of matcha, which was explained really well. We had a fun time making matcha and tasting it. The guides were really kind and wonderful hosts. The environment of the class was very clean and stress-free. The class is only a 10-15 minute walk from the main Uji area. If going during the summer, I recommend doing some shopping and then taking the matcha class to cool down and rest. I would definitely recommend to future travelers who are interested/love matcha.
The explanation and process was great! Very fun and informative. I just wished we were given the rest of the marcha we make to take with us.
The instructor was really friendly and KAWAIIDES ,very helpful to offer to take videos of us grinding the matcha and her jokes are really funny too ! Really great experience to learn about the process and information about making a cup of matcha.
Enjoyed it, also informative, kindest staff :)
Davvero bella esperienza
it was a peaceful experience. Even if you are not matcha fan, you will enjoy the process.
loved getting to learn about matcha, the history & practices. thank you so much for the experience
My wife and I are matcha fans but after this experience we are matcha enthusiast. Learned so much and well worth it. It was raining so we couldn’t go to the tea fields. Highly Reccomend
