Matcha is a special type of Japanese green tea, renowned for its many health and beauty benefits. It is rich in antioxidants and micronutrients and supports detoxification, anti-ageing, calm focus, and natural energy.
However, even if you buy high-quality matcha, preparing it incorrectly can reduce its benefits and leave it bitter or clumpy.
In this engaging and practical live online workshop, we’ll explore the wonderful world of matcha and learn how to enjoy it properly and confidently.
You’ll first be introduced to the traditional Japanese method using a whisk (chasen) and bowl (chawan), so you understand what well-made matcha should look and taste like.
From there, I’ll guide you through a modern, easier, and simpler way to make matcha, designed for everyday life. This approach requires no special tea ceremony tools, is quick and fuss-free, and anyone can make smooth, delicious matcha with ease, even if you’re a complete beginner.
We’ll prepare matcha green tea and simple matcha lattes, focusing on great taste and maximum health benefits.
There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and we’ll finish with a relaxed live Q&A session, so you can leave the class feeling confident and inspired.

What you'll need

If you want to join our matcha-making session without purchasing our box, please make sure to prepare:
⁃ ceremonial grade matcha
⁃ room temperature water
⁃ hot boiling water (ensure a kettle nearby)
⁃ your preferred plant-based milk (I like to use Bonsoy or oat milk!)
⁃ a teaspoon
⁃ a glass jar with a secure screw-top lid
⁃ a whisk (chasen) and bowl (chawan) (optional, if you have one)
*NOTES:
⁃ please check your jar's sealing by filling it with water and giving it a good shake there to ensure there is no leakage
⁃ please do not buy or use a STAINLESS STEEL shaker as it will deteriorate flavour and colour of matcha
⁃ those who purchase the kit, you still need room temperature water, hot boiling water and plant based milk

You can add this when you book (optional).
