The difference
No machines, no shortcuts. We hand-whisk every cup with a bamboo chasen, the traditional way — even when there are three hundred and fifty of them.

Tech, professional services, fitness, design and advertising teams have made room for the cart.

How it works
Three steps, then we whisk.
01
Tell us the room
Date, headcount, and the feeling you're after — an office floor, a studio, a wedding, a launch.
02
We compose the service
Cart, menu, ceremony, and co-branded cups — tuned to the moment and your guest count.
03
We arrive and whisk
Our instructor sets up, whisks the proper way, and serves. You simply gather and slow down.
Corporate
Office activations, team catering and brand moments. The cart, an instructor, ceremonial matcha and in-house espresso — brought to your floor.
Weddings
A quiet matcha bar for the day — ceremonial service for guests, or a private whisking ceremony for the couple.
Private
Birthdays, showers, intimate gatherings. The full ritual, set up in your home or chosen space.
At our Annex location
A weekly seat at our table.
Each week we hold a guided ceremony led by our resident Urasenke-certified instructor. Eight seats, whisked the traditional way — the same quiet care we bring on location.
