Recent reviews of Japanese Matcha and Hojicha Class
- 5/5 from Steven Tseng, attended Sep 2026: This was the best class I've had on this platform! We were there they made us feel like home! Learning the history of Matcha and all the different tea combinations were a blast and I would definitely come back again! Thank you both so much and I really appreciate how heart warming the class was!
- 5/5 from Tahina Felisca, attended Aug 2026: Super fun! She starts off traditional at the start of the class but at the end she sets aside time to experiment with tea mixes. I recommend this class to anyone who enjoys tea and want to take it to the next step.
- 5/5 from Ruth Shaffer, attended Aug 2026: Teacher was amazing! very thoughtful class format. drinks were delicious and we got to try so many different things
- 5/5 from Elijah Kurien, attended May 2026: Class was incredible, extremely sweet women running the store, and very knowledgable. Tried matcha, hojicha, latte and flavor combinations, and a matcha affogato at the end :) Also very accomodating of dietary restrictions! Would definitely recommend :)
- 5/5 from Catherine Esguerra, attended May 2026: Incredible class! The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable, while allowing time to explore and play around with the different teas and inclusions as well. We did so much more than I thought we would within the 2 hours. So glad I got to take home a matcha set and start creating my own lattes right away. Absolutely worth the cost and I would recommend to anyone.
- 5/5 from Reese Crabtree, attended Mar 2026: Terrific instructor. Just a ton of fun.
- 5/5 from Darnell Robinson, attended Feb 2026: Ms. Tea is very knowledgeable and full of positive energy!
- 5/5 from Joanna Tse, attended Dec 2025: My daughters and I attended the Matcha and Hojicha class, and it was absolutely wonderful. Marlene was excellent—so knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate. We learned so much about matcha, hojicha, and how to make the perfect drink as well as experimenting with spices all while having such a fun time together. The class truly felt like being at home. Her store was incredibly cozy, and the table and class setup were beautifully done. She even spoiled us with delicious treats. It was a lovely and memorable experience.
- 5/5 from Ericka Jenkins, attended Oct 2025: Really enjoyed the class - completely hands on. The instructor was wonderful and very informative. The Matcha was great and felt like we were in chem class. We created a winning latte!! Fun class!
Your teacher
Tea has been woven into Marlene’s life since early childhood. At just three years old, she began ending her evenings with a small cup of tea with milk—a soothing ritual that helped her unwind before bed. That simple moment of comfort became the beginning of a lifelong love affair with teas and herbal tisanes.As she grew, so did her curiosity and creativity. Marlene began blending teas for every mood and moment—steaming hot cups for comfort, iced teas for refreshment, tea cocktails for celebration, tea‑infused ice creams for delight, and herbal blends to support her overall well‑being. What started as a childhood ritual evolved into a joyful exploration of global flavors, healing traditions, and sensory experiences.The art of tea blending for enjoyment, wellness and creativity is a wonderful way to learn about teas and to develop your own personalized tea/herbal tea blends that are specific to your taste buds and wellness needs. I hope that you will join my upcoming workshops where learning is integrated with a great deal of hands-on creativity and blending that you can take home and share with your family and friends.
