Hosted by The Zen Concept, this calming and hands-on workshop invites you to experience the art of making matcha from scratch.

You'll learn how to whisk your own bowl of matcha while exploring its mindful health benefits, distinct flavour profiles, and cultural roots. We'll also introduce simple and modern ways to enjoy matcha in daily life — from lattes and desserts to quiet, grounding rituals.

This session is perfect for beginners and anyone looking to slow down, connect, and enjoy a peaceful matcha moment.

In this special workshop, we're thrilled to welcome Yoshi, our guest instructor from Japan. A certified tea professional, Yoshi brings deep knowledge of Japanese tea culture and years of experience sharing the beauty and ritual of matcha around the world.

I recently attended a Matcha Making Workshop at The Zen Concept and it was fantastic! We got the chance to learn about the origins of matcha and practised how to prepare it mindfully using the proper technique. All the tools and materials were provided. It was a super practical workshop and inspired me to make matcha at home instead of always buying it at the coffee shop. I bought the workshop voucher as a gift for a family member — we went together and it was a wonderful bonding experience. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed discovering a lot about matcha and the session was very fun. Our host is so knowledgeable and made it easy for us to understand and try making matcha on our own later at home. I also bought my own matcha kit after the session. By the end you'll have the skills to make matcha yourself, plus the knowledge to choose and store good matcha. Highly recommend!
