Getting together for a bowl of matcha (powdered green tea) and cakes has been an important social event for Japanese since medieval times. The culture of Tea has influenced not only Japanese food, but also architecture, ceramics, flower arrangement, and many other traditional arts of Japan. Come join members of the Urasenke tea community here in Victoria for a rare opportunity to witness—and taste—one of the crowning achievements of Japanese aesthetics.
