A matcha experience is a unique and immersive way to explore Japanese culture, particularly through the traditional tea ceremony. Matcha is a powdered green tea, often used in formal tea ceremonies. During a matcha experience, you not only learn how to prepare and enjoy the tea but also gain insight into its history and the rituals of tea preparation. The typical flow of a matcha experience involves a brief introduction to the history of matcha and the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. You'll then learn how to whisk the matcha, usually using a bamboo whisk (called a "chasen"), and prepare the tea in a proper manner. After that, you get to enjoy the matcha you've prepared, often accompanied by traditional sweets.
