Matchageddon
The end of your world without matcha.
Overview
Think about your life. Think about everything you have and everything you hold close. Now think of matcha. Do you even own one measly tin of the stuff? Well, buddy, the end is coming — the end of your world without matcha.
Widely used in Japanese desserts, ice cream and snacks (including Pocky) and completely westernised by Starbucks in concoctions such as the Green Tea Latte and Green Tea Cream Frappucino, matcha is a Japanese gem, rich in history as well as antioxidants. And so, Smith Street’s specialty tea room Storm in a Teacup, is organising a tea party to end all tea parties: Matchageddon.
A five-day tea festival focussing solely on matcha, Matchageddon is for both lovers of the green tea powder, and those that are still a little confused. For five full days, Storm in a Teacup will become one big teapot of celebration, including tea ceremonies, workshops, demonstrations, tastings and performance art.
To kick things off, book yourself into The Green Beam: Matcha 101 for the Party People workshop on September 11, or head along to the GraffiTEA ceremonies or a very special Butoh performance on Saturday night. The Matchageddon menu will also be special, with matcha infused sencha, sweet matcha juice, matcha cocktails and matcha desserts. Also available for sale will be matcha kits, whisks and bowls.
It’s really all the matcha you could ever need.
