Learn about traditional Japanese tea culture through this Tea Ceremony hosted the Museum of East Asian Art's galleries on 24 April, 29 May, and 19 June 2025.
Try ceremonial grade matcha tea prepared for you by your host, Yukie Williams with over a decade’s experience in practising tea ceremonies, known as sadō (茶道). Yukie Williams draws inspiration from both her training and her early years in Japan. Yukie Scott will give an explanation of the Japanese Tea Ceremony, exploring the different elements and giving you an insight into each step of the process.
To accompany the matcha, you will have a chance to sample nerikiri, a traditional Japanese sweet. These are handcrafted by Ryoko Stibbe for MEAA’s Japanese Tea Ceremonies and are different for each session. Ryoko chooses the shape of each nerikiri to reflect the seasons. The nerikiri for the Spring/Summer Tea Ceremonies are:
April Nerikiri: Sakura – Cherry blossoms
May Nerikiri: Hana Shobu – Iris
June Nerikiri: Nijiiro Temari – Rainbow Temari ball
