Demonstration by Members of the Sakura Tea Circle

Matcha has gained immense popularity in the United States recently, but its importance in Japan extends back centuries, deeply intertwined with the nation's long-standing tea culture. Members of the Sakura Tea Circle will share matcha's fascinating history, the growing and cultivation of the tea plant, and traditional matcha preparation tools and techniques. Each guest will learn how to whisk matcha and receive a whisk, tea scoop, and matcha samples to take home. This introductory session is ideal for both newcomers to Japanese tea and those seeking to deepen their matcha knowledge.
