Tea ceremony and kimono club in Europe

A single bowl of matcha, quietly whisked.
Within that simple gesture lives the spirit of Japan.

Table-style tea ceremony that anyone can enjoy with just a chair and a table.
From Switzerland, I bring lessons to students all around the world.
It’s accessible for everyone, including beginners.
Whisking and savouring a bowl of matcha at your own pace offers a quiet moment to step away from daily life and calm the mind.

In recent years, I’ve also had the pleasure of bringing
matcha experiences to corporate parties and receptions.
I’ve also set up hands-on matcha booths at
large-scale exhibitions such as one of Switzerland’s biggest pop-culture events,
where guests whisk their own matcha with a real bamboo whisk.
A single bowl of tea adds a special, lingering moment to any occasion.

Kimono often accompanies matcha in what I offer.
If you’ve always wanted to try wearing a kimono, or have one at home you’d love to wear again,
I’m happy to help with dressing.
For those short on time, I can also arrange dressing in about 30 minutes.

As an instructor who spends two-thirds of the year in kimono and shares the spirit of Japan through matcha,
I look forward to accompanying you in these moments.
