Product Info
What is the Angan Dawon Matcha Tea Class?
Angan Dawon's Matcha Ritual is an introductory tea class built around Korean matcha, designed so that first-timers can follow along comfortably. Rather than a formal ceremony, the session is structured as a relaxed ritual: you sit down, prepare your own bowl, and take each cup slowly. The programme uses premium matcha from Angan Dawon and runs for about 60 minutes in a small group of up to five participants, which keeps the pace unhurried and leaves room for questions. Guidance is given in Korean or English, so travellers who have never held a chasen can still take part without hesitation. It suits tea beginners, couples, and visitors looking for a quiet, hands-on stop while travelling around Namhae.
What can I do at the Angan Dawon Matcha Tea Class?
The class moves through three courses, each showing a different face of Korean tea. In the Pure Matcha course you whisk premium Angan Dawon matcha yourself with a traditional chasen, learning the motion that brings out its aroma and deep umami, and a seasonal yanggaeng or a small wagashi is served alongside it. The Matcha Latte course then has you add milk to freshly prepared matcha, turning the same tea into something smooth and everyday. The session closes with the Hojicha course, a nutty, roasted, decaffeinated cup meant to bring the ritual to a calm finish. Between the making and the tasting there is a short tea talk and a photo session, so you leave with both the technique and the pictures.
