This is a fun activity in Archway, London
Step into a calm and sensory experience with this Genmaicha (roasted rice tea) workshop in London.
In this unique hands-on class, you’ll learn how to create your own Genmaicha — a comforting blend of green tea and toasted rice, known for its nutty aroma and smooth flavour.
As your tea gently roasts, you’ll also prepare a light tea snack and explore the rich history, culture, and health philosophy of tea across Asia, with a special focus on Chinese traditions.
This workshop is designed to be relaxing, immersive, and beginner-friendly, offering a slower-paced experience compared to cooking classes — perfect for unwinding while learning something new.
Classes take place in a spacious, air-conditioned studio with small group sizes, ensuring personal attention throughout. Weekday sessions are often quieter and may become private experiences.
You’ll also enjoy complimentary Chinese tea during the session, enhancing the overall experience.
