Japanese Tea Masterclass - From Leaf to Cup

Japanese Tea Masterclass — From Leaf to Cup

Step into the refined world of Japanese tea through an immersive, expertly guided masterclass designed for both enthusiasts and professionals. This experience goes beyond tasting—it is a structured exploration of craftsmanship, science, and sensory appreciation rooted in Japan’s tea tradition.

Led by a certified tea master and beverage educator, the session begins with a foundational understanding of Japanese teas—how they differ in processing, terroir, and cultivar. You will gain clarity on key production techniques such as steaming, shading, and harvesting cycles, and how these variables directly shape flavour, aroma, and texture.

Participants will then move into guided sensory evaluation, learning to assess matcha and a curated flight of premium Japanese teas with professional tasting frameworks.

You will explore:

• Difference between Usucha and Koicha using ceremonial grade matcha from a distinguished heritage brand
• Comparative tasting across multiple styles of premium grade teas
• Evaluate teas in a structured way

This is not a passive workshop—it is a calibrated, hands-on learning experience that sharpens your palate and deepens technical knowledge
