This experience was amazing!! I booked this as a surprise for my boyfriends birthday and he was so happy. We booked the casual tea time. The staff are lovely and talk through all teas and snacks in such detail, it’s amazing how they remember so much and are so knowledgable. The atmosphere is very calming and I have never experienced tea quite like it. We left feeling very calm and chilled out and wanting to experience it again! We also bought some chocolate. If you’re thinking of going then you should!! It’s well worth the money and a one-of-a-kind experience. Thank you Cha-ology!! <3
Just ‘wow’. What an amazing experience from the moment you walk in; it’s hard to imagine somewhere so peaceful in the city centre.
Our booking was their ‘quiet’ tea service. The servers took our coats and throughly explained all the options available before seating us at one of the tables.
I can’t believe how good the tea was! I enjoy a lot of teas of different varieties at home, but this stuff blew us both away. Some teas like the hojicha had an almost tropical flavour, other teas were savoury in a way I didn’t know tea could be.
The snacks/food were also excellent, and surprisingly filling! Definitely recommend the sakura mochi!
Our service lasted around 2 hours. The server’s timing was excellent even though my wife and I were having two different menu options. Each tea/dish came with a card with some information and a QR link to further reading. Given the small maximum capacity of the establishment, it felt very intimate and personal. Given all of this, I’d say you definitely get your money’s worth.
I couldn’t leave this review without commenting on some of the negative ones I see here; reading some of them initially left us feeling a little nervous about booking. However, our experience could not have been better, the staff were amazingly friendly and clearly very very passionate about the tea and food they serve. We had no issues taking photos of our food and drinks (following their guidance on photos and phone usage).
If you’re feeling nervous about booking like we were, I’d honestly not worry and just book it. Respect their requests (which they politely remind you of upon booking and upon entry) and just enjoy the vibe.
P.S. When we booked online by their site was down, but they responded to our email literally within minutes to help us book.
Fantastic experience. I found this place by searching Matcha and at first I was a bit hesitated because of the reviews. I saw negative reviews regarding to their strict rules. However, the owner replied to the negative reviews with patient. I can tell how much they care about and how serious they are for the experience and tea they want to provide to us.
So please read their house keeping rules before reserving.
Overall, the experience is 10/10. The staffs are friendly, welcoming, and dedicated. With each course of new and snacks, the staff will explain and tell you the story behind. The way they make tea and explain can truly tell you their expertise in tea. When you get there just sit down, put your phone in silence, and enjoy the whole experience. Definitely will visit here again!
