Pick your workshop
Three sessions, all hands-on, all beginner-proof. Run them at any of our outlets, or we come to your office.
Matcha Appreciation Workshop
- 60 or 90 min
- From 8 people
- From $60/pax
The story of matcha, a side-by-side tasting of different grades, then everyone whisks their own iced matcha latte with the proper tools. Even the colleagues who do not drink matcha get into it.
Japanese Brewed Tea Appreciation
- 60 min
- From 8 people
- From $45/pax
An omakase tasting through six Japanese teas, each brewed fresh in front of the group. Your team smells, sips and compares notes together. The easiest pick for a mixed crowd — nothing to make, nothing to get wrong.
Brownie Decorating Workshop
- 45 min
- From 15 people
- From $50/pax
Piping bags, steady hands, and a lot of laughing at each other’s attempts. Everyone learns real piping techniques and decorates their own brownie. Vegan options available.
Prices are before GST, and bigger groups pay less per pax — full rates in the questions below. Corporate rates start at 8 people, or 15 for Brownie Decorating; smaller groups from 2 are welcome at a higher per-head rate. At your office, add a flat $80 logistics fee per session.
Or bring the matcha bar to your event
Our team sets up at your office, D&D or launch, and whisks every drink fresh and made to order while your guests watch. Among the usual dessert tables, the matcha station is the one people queue at.
From $950 for a two-hour station, from 100 cups. Larger events run beyond 600.
Or host your event at ours
Book one of our outlets for your own event. Bookings are exclusive, so the room is yours and no other guests are seated.
Hvala Odeon holds up to 65 — $3,000 on weekdays, $5,000 at weekends (3-hour block).
111 Somerset holds up to 55 — $2,500 on weekdays, $3,800 at weekends (3-hour block).
Why it works for a mixed team
You want the version where nobody complains afterwards. Here is what that rests on.
Everyone can join
We believe in inclusivity. Everything served is Muslim-friendly, with vegan options always available — so no one has to ask what they can have.
No forced fun
Nobody is put on the spot. There are no icebreakers and no teams — people whisk, taste and talk at their own pace, so the quiet half of your team enjoys it as much as the loud half.
Runs when you want it
You set the time, we work around it. Sessions run 45, 60 or 90 minutes — lunchtime, mid-afternoon, after work, or a weekend.
At your place or ours
Come to us, or we’ll come to you. Hvala Odeon and 111 Somerset are central and air-conditioned — or we arrive at your office with the tools, ingredients and trainer, and you provide the room.
We supply the matcha to more than 200 businesses across Singapore, sourced direct from the farms we work with in Japan.
“Even colleagues who weren’t big on matcha found the workshop interesting.”
“It was time well spent — we learnt different grades of matcha and proper preparation techniques. The trainers were knowledgeable and patient… We really liked that everyone got to have hands-on experience at making their own matcha. Definitely worth trying it out!”
“Our clients thoroughly enjoyed the Matcha Appreciation Workshop… The hands-on workshop made the session more engaging, with Claire and Kelsey offering guidance and encouragement as everyone tried whisking their own matcha. Would highly recommend Hvala for future matcha workshops!”
