KYOTO MATCHA WORKSHOP with SHUHARI KYOTO

Learn about Kyoto matcha directly from an award-winning producer

Join us for an exclusive, hands-on masterclass in London exploring the rich heritage and distinctive flavours of authentic Kyoto matcha.

We are honoured to host Shinya Kita, Founder and CEO of SHUHARI KYOTO, a renowned producer whose SAMIDORI Matcha, sold exclusively at MATCHADO in the UK, has in 2026 been awarded 3 Stars at the prestigious Great Taste Awards.

Hear directly from Kita-san about what it takes to produce exceptional matcha, discover traditional cultivation and production techniques, learn how to whisk your own matcha, and taste rare single-origin cultivars from SHUHARI KYOTO, paired with a special MATCHADO homemade dessert.

About SHUHARI KYOTO

Based in Kyoto's legendary Uji and Wazuka tea regions, SHUHARI KYOTO preserves historic Japanese tea cultivation while sharing premium single-origin, single-estate matcha with the world.
