Detailed Description

Come and find your favourite Matcha

When are the leaves for high-quality Matcha harvested?
How do the different shading methods compare?
What is the effect of traditional rice-straw shading, and how does it differ from modern shading fabrics?

We will also explore the differences between preparing Matcha as Usucha and Koicha, and look at the cultivars that have proven particularly suitable for shade-grown teas, including those specifically developed for Matcha production.

Together, we will taste and compare four Japanese Matcha teas made from four different cultivars and sourced from three growing regions. We will focus on their colour, aroma, texture and flavour, discovering how the tea plant's genetics and the terroir of each region express themselves in the cup.

Perhaps you will discover a new favourite cultivar. Will it be Okumidori, Gokou, Saemidori or Ujihikari?
Will you be drawn to Matcha from Kyoto, Kagoshima or Shizuoka?

Join our Matcha tasting and find out! The session will be led by Jozef “Zajo” Zajac from Čajový Dom.
This tasting is also ideal for those who already know Matcha and would like to explore its diversity in greater depth.
