Step into a calm and sensory experience with this Genmaicha (roasted rice tea) workshop in London.
In this unique hands-on class, you’ll learn how to create your own Genmaicha — a comforting blend of green tea and toasted rice, known for its nutty aroma and smooth flavour.
As your tea gently roasts, you’ll also prepare a light tea snack and explore the rich history, culture, and health philosophy of tea across Asia, with a special focus on Chinese traditions.
This workshop is designed to be relaxing, immersive, and beginner-friendly, offering a slower-paced experience compared to cooking classes — perfect for unwinding while learning something new.
Classes take place in a spacious, air-conditioned studio with small group sizes, ensuring personal attention throughout. Weekday sessions are often quieter and may become private experiences.
You’ll also enjoy complimentary Chinese tea during the session, enhancing the overall experience.

At Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen, we believe cooking is more than following recipes — it is a craft, a culture, and a shared experience.
Founded in London with a passion for precision and authenticity, we specialise in immersive Asian culinary workshops that combine traditional knowledge with hands-on learning.
From sushi masterclasses to Chinese tea ceremonies and artisan dessert experiences, every class is designed to give you more than just a finished dish. We teach you the “why” behind the technique — so you leave with confidence, not just instructions.
Precision.
Our sushi classes focus on technique, structure and presentation.
We guide you to create beautifully shaped rolls with professional standards — even as a beginner.
Culture.
Our tea and Matcha workshops explore centuries of history and philosophy, helping you understand the story behind what you taste.
Creativity.
Our dessert workshops celebrate colour, texture and joy — turning simple ingredients into stunning, handcrafted treats.
We keep our classes small to ensure personal guidance and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re joining for a date night, birthday, team event or simply to learn something new, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and thoughtfully designed space.
Many of our weekday sessions feel almost like private classes — giving you time to ask questions and refine your skills.
Our Philosophy
Craft. Culture. Confidence.
We believe learning should feel rewarding, not rushed.
Beautiful, not complicated.
Professional, yet welcoming.
When you leave our studio, we want you to feel proud of what you’ve created — and confident enough to recreate it at home.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen.
