MATCHADO × SATÉN Workshop — How to Make Proper Matcha at Home

This February, MATCHADO and Satén Japanese Tea come together for a rare collaboration celebrating authentic Japanese matcha culture.

For the first time in London, Satén’s specialist matcha, tea tools (see the collection here), and philosophy will be available exclusively at MATCHADO throughout February, alongside hands-on workshops led by Satén founder and Japanese tea specialist Kazuhiro Koyama, co-hosted with MATCHADO founder Hiromi Matsunobu.

Known in Tokyo for its uncompromising approach to quality and craftsmanship, Satén has long stood apart from fleeting matcha trends. MATCHADO × SATÉN brings this ethos to London through education, experience, and carefully curated products — offering matcha lovers a deeper understanding of Japanese tea as it is truly practiced.
