🌸 Matcha Workshop in Berlin

Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a matcha workshop in Berlin for employees of a Japanese pharmaceutical company.

Despite the one-hour time limit, all 27 participants had a wonderful time exploring the world of matcha together.

I flew directly from Japan to Berlin and brought tea utensils and ingredients with me. The entire preparation process — from sourcing to shipping — was an incredibly valuable learning experience that will inform all my future workshops.

The theme of the workshop was “Sakura” 🌸 A quiz brought lots of excitement and laughter to the room. For the very first time in four years of running these workshops, we had a perfect score — achieved by someone who has been whisking matcha for 20 years! Truly impressive. The first prize was a Swiss chocolate presented in a cherry blossom-shaped box — a special gift perfectly in keeping with the sakura theme.

A warm thank you to Takako-sensei, a flower and kimono teacher based in Berlin, who supported us as assistant and made the session run beautifully.

My deepest gratitude goes to Franziska, who organized the workshop with such care and thoughtfulness. It was truly her dedication and attention to detail that made this event possible. Thank you so much!

I look forward to meeting everyone in Berlin again someday!
