Was planning on updating this yesterday, but just coming back to this now. I went twice yesterday, and I wasn't disappointed. I had tried both the sakura matcha and the matcha float. Matcha is prepared after you order, so when they are busy, there can be a bit of a wait, however it also means that the matcha here is probably one of the best in Canberra.
Here is a photo dump for you.
Today I will be checking out Ujin, which I am most excited about. It is an actual tea house serving premium matcha, so for you matcha gurlies like me, this is going to be a must to check out.
I will be sure to share some pictures and thoughts later in this thread.
Day 21 - matcha bowl
I’ve only dabbled in ceramics but I’m thankful for the time I got to spend with it.
I hope to be able to return when I’m healthier enough to have a craft which involves time & clean up a bit more strictly.

Those entrusted with safeguarding the Japanese tea ceremony see the global matcha craze not as a threat, but as a rare opportunity to share the deeper meaning and values of tea culture with the world. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/02/japan/society/tea-ceremony-matcha/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #matcha #food #tea #tourism
