Inside the Masterclass
What Your Team Actually Learns
A detailed look at the hands-on skills your café team walks away with, from sourcing to service.
Sourcing & Professional Technique
Matchacursus starts by teaching how to source ceremonial-grade matcha and evaluate quality like a professional buyer, then moves straight into hands-on whisking and preparation technique that every barista on your team can repeat, shift after shift.
Menu Development & Consistency
The masterclass develops a range of modern matcha drinks together with your team, from lattes to contemporary serves, ready to put straight on your menu. Every technique is taught so it stays consistent no matter who's behind the bar.
Food Pairing & Certification
The day includes a food pairing experience designed around matcha service, and closes with an official Matchacursus certificate of participation for every team member who completes the course.

Why Join Us
Why Join Our Programme?
Untrained matcha preparation costs cafés more in the long run: wasted product, inconsistent drinks, and missed premium pricing. Matchacursus certification is built to return measurable benefits against exactly those costs.
Consistency Across Every Shift
Every certified team member whisks, measures, and prepares matcha the same way, every time. No more guessing, no more drinks that taste different depending on who's behind the counter.
A Credential Guests Actually Trust
Backed by KYŌ-KLUB and matcha sourced directly from Uji, Japan, the certificate signals real expertise, not a generic in-house training session.
Faster, More Confident Baristas
Trained staff move faster during rush hours because they've already practiced the technique, not because they're guessing under pressure.
A Point of Difference That Sells
Ceremonial-grade matcha, prepared properly, justifies a premium price and gives customers a reason to choose your café over the one down the street.
Less Waste, Fewer Mistakes
Proper technique means less matcha lost to over-whisking, clumping, or wrong ratios, savings that add up fast across a busy service.
A Shared Experience That Builds Teams
A full day of hands-on training together gives staff a shared reference point and a sense of ownership over the menu they serve.
