Art of Living Workshop
Kyoto Botanical Teas
Hand-roast, grind, and blend foraged herbs and tea plants into a creative seasonal tea, and explore each ingredient’s cultural value.
In this fun workshop, you’ll craft your own unique seasonal tea blend from a selection of playful ingredients that reflect the current microseason. Following the workshop, there will be a tasting of two other teas with sweets that tell the story of the Japanese islands.
Tea is not just the green beverage that many associate with Japan, but a brew sourced from a vast variety of regional flora that supports physical and mental health, mirrors the climate and landscape of the season, and a product of agricultural and political history. Tea alone can tell the tale of Japan.
¥28,000
Tax included.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Choosing teas sourced from a wide range of farmed and wild seasonal flora, avoids unnecessary mono-cropping that strips the land of vital nutrients and leads to devastating soil erosion.

In collaboration with
Kyoto Research Institute
Kyoto Research Institute was founded under the direction of Momoko Nakamura. Momoko’s interest stems from 20 years of communicating and educating on cookery culture and the food system, informed by anthropological field research across the Japanese archipelago. The Institute’s research now extends beyond food, expanding into both textile and home, with the growing understanding that each pillar of Japanese living originates from a single terroir.
