Get ready to whisk it, sip it, and candle it!
Join us at Above Average Candle Studio for a cozy, hands-on experience that combines the art of traditional matcha whisking with one of our favorite things: candle making!
You'll start by learning how to properly prepare and whisk matcha to create that smooth, frothy finish we all love. We'll walk you through the process step-by-step, so whether you're already matcha-obsessed or trying it for the first time, you'll leave knowing how to make it at home.
Bonus - Upgrade your experience to take home a Matcha Whisking Kit.
After making the perfect matcha latte, we're turning matcha into a candle!
You'll create an adorable soy/gel wax matcha candle designed to look so much like the real thing. You'll customize your candle with fragrance and create your own matcha-inspired masterpiece.
No experience is necessary — we'll teach you everything you need to know. Come with your bestie, your date, your matcha-loving coworker, or come solo and meet somebody new.
The candle may be cute, but the experience is the real treat.
