What do you think of when you hear “traditional Japanese culture”? TEA CEREMONY!

The matcha, kimono and garden! Oh my! So much of Japanese culture can be experienced in one tea ceremony: art, history, architecture, fashion, sweets, tea, nature, calligraphy, hospitality, spirituality and the list goes on. I had a wonderful, relaxing and eye-opening experience with tea ceremony master/expert, Keiko, during my private tea ceremony. If you’ve never been to one before. I highly recommend it!

Camellia Garden offers private tea ceremonies explained in fluent English. With an amazing setting of stunning gardens in a traditional, 100 year old house, I was super delighted. It is located a minute’s walk from the main gate of Ryoan-ji, the Zen-temple famous for its rock garden. The experience had me saying, ‘Yo quiero MAS MATCHA!’

How MATCHA do you love matcha? 😉 Let me know in the comments!
