Step into the world of Japanese tea culture and learn the art of preparing Matcha and Hojicha during this hands-on, energizing workshop at Thriftpark!
Whether you're a matcha lover, a beginner, or simply curious about new mindful rituals, this is your chance to connect with tea in a deeper, more meaningful way. In this lively and welcoming session, we’ll introduce you to two stars of Japanese tea:
• Matcha – the vibrant green powdered tea known for its energy, focus, and rich umami flavor.
• Hojicha – a smooth, roasted green tea with a naturally sweet and comforting taste, perfect for a caffeine-light boost.
You'll not only taste, but also learn how to prepare matcha traditionally using a bamboo whisk (chasen) and tea bowl (chawan), following essential steps from the Japanese tea tradition. We'll show you how to create a perfect, frothy matcha, and also teach you how to turn your matcha into a delicious matcha latte or refreshing matcha-based drink.
Workshop highlights:
• Introduction to Matcha and Hojicha – origins, health benefits, differences
• Tasting two different matcha grades and freshly brewed Hojicha
• Hands-on experience: whisk your own Matcha with traditional tools
• Learn how to create simple matcha drinks and cocktails at home
• Pro tips for making the perfect matcha every day
• A relaxed, community-focused atmosphere to enjoy and ask questions
No experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and love for good tea
