Cooking Class - Whisk Your Own Bowl of Matcha - New York

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Sit with a tea master, learn the rituals of chanoyu and whisk your own bowl of matcha by hand.

Immerse yourself in the art of chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony, in this hands-on cooking class. With more than 800 years of history, chanoyu is not simply about drinking tea – it's hospitality, meditation and craft held together in a single sequence of movements.

You'll sit with a Tea Master Nagano Chanoyu, learn the utensils and the reasoning behind each gesture, and then prepare and whisk your own bowl of matcha. Rooted in Zen Buddhism, the rituals do something specific – the room goes quiet, and sounds and light you would normally never notice come forward. A bowl of matcha prepared and drunk in that state tastes deeper and fuller than the same tea would anywhere else. No experience is needed and no formal dress is required – come as you are. Book this class today.

Freshly whisked Japanese matcha green tea is included, and it is the centerpiece of the experience rather than an accompaniment. Each guest whisks and drinks their own bowl of matcha, prepared under the guidance of the tea master. No other beverages are served.
