Hands-on class to craft a premium, tea-forward matcha latte with quality matcha, whisking skills, and guided tasting.
About this Event

Making a good matcha latte is easy — and deeply satisfying — once you know what to pay attention to. This class offers a tea-forward approach to matcha lattes, inspired by Japanese tea culture and thoughtfully run matcha bars.

In this small, hands-on session, you’ll learn the essentials of matcha preparation and whisking, then make your own latte using a traditional bamboo whisk. You’ll also taste a small selection of carefully chosen, high-quality matcha, noticing how differences in cultivation and production show up in flavor, texture, and aroma. The focus is on balance, mouthfeel, and letting the character of the matcha come through.


What You Will Learn

  • Whisking techniques for smooth, integrated foam
  • How cultivation and production influence matcha’s taste
  • Choosing and caring for essential matcha tools
  • Matcha origins and basic production methods
  • A guided chocolate pairing to highlight matcha’s depth


What to Expect

  • A beginner-friendly, small-group class
  • All tools provided
  • Vegan-friendly preparation using oat milk
  • Bring your own cup or tumbler if you like


This class is for anyone curious about matcha as tea — whether you’re a home drinker, a barista, or someone who has enjoyed a really good matcha latte and wants to understand it better.
