WHAT YOU’LL DO
Sit together with a tea master, learn the rituals of chanoyu and whisk your own bowls of matcha.
Gather your team for a serene, grounding experience in this team building activity centered on chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony. 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.
Your team will sit with Tea Master Nagano Chanoyu, learn the utensils and the reasoning behind each gesture, and then each prepare and whisk their own bowl of matcha. Rooted in Zen Buddhism, the rituals bring a rare quiet to the room, where sounds and light you'd normally never notice come forward – a shared moment of calm that stands apart from any typical team outing. No experience is needed and no formal dress is required. Book this team building activity 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.
Suitable For
This team building activity is great for individuals, couples and groups as well as for a team building activity, birthday or bachelorette party.
It also makes a unique gift for foodies and is well suited as a gift for cooks, families and students.
