Cooking Class - Whisk Your Own Bowl of Matcha in Manhattan

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, 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.
