“Attended the Matcha and Mindfulness class with instructor Bonnie (Mitchell) and had the best experience!

Her class was intimate, engaging, and was more than we could have expected. We learned about the rich history of tea and she even provided treats to pair with the drinks (bowls of matcha we whisked). I would highly recommend it if you are curious about the history of matcha and learn how to make it on your own. The space was beautiful and we look forward to engaging in the work of the (East-West Chanoyu Center) located in the Japanese Cultural and Community Center again soon!”
