Japanese Tea + Sound
Marika Koguchi, in Amsterdam just for this weekend, will guide an immersive sound meditation accompanied by a curated tasting of Japanese green teas and traditional okashi (sweets).
Through sound, stillness, and tea, guests are invited into a deeply restorative experience designed to quiet the mind and awaken the senses.
Ceremonial-grade matcha, sencha, and genmaicha sourced through The Matcha Factory will be served throughout the journey. The teas are organically and sustainably cultivated by the renowned Kinezuka family in Shizuoka, Japan, whose pioneering approach to regenerative, zero-waste tea farming has helped shape the future of organic Japanese tea.

Together, they combine acoustic instruments and digital processing within Reforestors’ unique ambisonic space. Gong, quartz crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks, drums, chimes and rattles are merged with spatial audio.
