抹茶体験

Authentic Tea Ceremony Experience Now Available Anywhere

With a table and chairs, your office or home can become a tea room in an instant!

At GreenTeaTokyo, the instructor will provide all tea utensils, matcha, sweets, etc., so there is nothing for you to prepare.
You do not need to be in a Japanese-style room, just a table and chairs.
You can experience the tea ceremony at a place and time of your own choosing.
Many tea ceremony classes do not accommodate more than 10 people at the same time, so if you have many guests, please take advantage of our on-site system.

A special time where tradition and modernity merge

【Actual experience scene】

Participants can experience the difficulty and fun of making matcha tea at the same time.

The sound of the tea whisk moving, the aroma of the matcha, and the gradual bubbling of the tea can be felt through all five senses.

Many people are moved by the moment they drink the matcha they have made themselves.

There is a special taste to a cup of matcha that you have created with your own hands.

At the end of the experience, participants can discuss their experiences and findings with each other, which will further deepen their understanding of and interest in Japanese culture.

Incorporating Tea Ceremony Experiences as a Benefit Program – Employee Satisfaction Measures for a New Era

Increasing employee satisfaction and recruiting and retaining human resources are extremely important issues for today’s companies. However, traditional benefit programs do not always provide benefits to all employees in a fair manner.

Challenges with Conventional Benefits Plans

• I own my home, so I can’t use the rent subsidy.
• I don’t have time to travel, so there is no point in having a recreation facility.
• I’m single, so I can’t take advantage of family services.
• “I’m healthy, so I don’t have the opportunity to take advantage of medical subsidies.”

These are the kind of comments we hear from many companies. As each employee’s lifestyle and family environment diversifies, providing fair and attractive benefits to all employees has become a major challenge for companies.

What we would like to focus on is the new idea of incorporating “tea ceremony onsite” as a benefit program. There are many benefits to experiencing a tea ceremony that are not found in traditional employee benefits programs.

Advantages of “Onsite Tea Ceremony” as an Employee Benefit

• Equality: All employees benefit equally, regardless of age, gender, family structure, or housing type.
• Cultural value: Providing employees with an opportunity to experience traditional Japanese culture enhances their education and fosters spiritual enrichment.
• Stress relief: The tranquil atmosphere of the tea ceremony helps to relieve daily work stress and refresh the body and mind.
• Team building: Experiencing tea ceremony together with co-workers stimulates communication and fosters harmony in the workplace.
• Multicultural understanding: For non-Japanese employees, this is a valuable opportunity to deepen their understanding of Japanese culture.
• Work-life balance: The program can be held during working hours or near workplaces, allowing employees to participate without sacrificing their personal time.
• Health promotion: The catechins and other ingredients in matcha tea contribute to better health.
• Improved concentration: The spirit of the tea ceremony can help improve concentration and alertness at work.

Flexibility of Implementation

Our on-site tea ceremony services are flexible to meet your company’s needs:

• Frequency: Once a month, once a quarter, once every six months, etc., depending on the company’s budget and the needs of its employees.
• Location: We can use existing facilities such as company meeting rooms, break spaces, and company cafeterias.
• Time: Can be arranged in a way that does not interfere with work, such as during lunch time, after work, or during work hours on specific days.
• Participation Format: Various formats are available, including voluntary participation, rotation by department, and participation by all employees.
• Customized content : We can arrange the content according to your needs, such as having authentic matcha tea prepared by the instructor, or having the experience of preparing matcha yourself.

Introducing on-site tea ceremonies as a benefit program is an innovative solution to meet the needs of your employees that cannot be met by traditional programs.

We hope that you will consider introducing the traveling tea ceremony as an option to breathe new life into your company’s employee benefit program. For more information, please feel free to contact us. Together, we can improve employee satisfaction and corporate value.
