Centuries ago, the story of tea began with a fortunate accident—a few leaves drifting into a bowl of hot water in ancient China. From there, tea leaves journeyed to Japan, where they found a new identity. Once revered as a medicinal elixir, tea was embraced by Zen monks, who infused it into rituals of mindfulness. Over time, it evolved into more than just a drink—it became a reflection of Japanese culture, embodying a delicate balance between nature, art, and mindfulness.

Today, Japanese tea remains a simple pleasure, deeply woven into daily life. It stands as a tradition that is both timeless and familiar, offering a glimpse into the soul of Japanese culture.

Join our Japanese Tea Tasting Experience and immerse yourself in the distinct flavours of Sencha, Hojicha, Matcha, and Genmaicha with a seasoned tea connoisseur. Engage in hands-on brewing, uncover the art of steeping, and learn how to make a smooth ceremonial matcha and a matcha latte. Leave with a deeper appreciation for Japanese tea and the skills and tools to enjoy it in your daily life.

What's A 'Trove Experience'

As our cities swell, we tend to do fewer and repetitive things for recreation. With Trove, you get to break the monotony and explore fresh activities in your city, meet like-minded souls, and develop a deeper appreciation for the finer things.

Most of us likely resonate with terms like 'workshops' or 'events.’ What makes these an 'experience' is the energies we put into scouring the right artists, creators and storytellers, to ensure that each Trove Experience leaves you enriched with meaningful moments to collect for your very own treasure trove.
