SMU Wellbeing Week | SMU x Matchaya
We’re back at Singapore Management University (SMU) this year!
Grateful to once again be part of SMU Well-Being Week, an annual event held in conjunction with World Mental Health Day.
This month is all about reminding ourselves and our community to prioritise mental health, and to create a supportive environment where teachers, staff and peers can thrive together.
As part of the celebration, the SMU committee has organised a Matcha Appreciation & Wellness Workshop for SMU’s staff and faculty.
Through the calm ritual of matcha whisking and exploring of the different types of matcha, they learned to slow down midst of busy schedules, reconnect and find balance in the present moment.
A unique sensory experience triggering your Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch.
Taste Test
Guided tasting of different matcha grades while learning the proper techniques for preparing and enjoying matcha.
Scent Test
Appreciating the nuances of matcha through its scent; sometimes oceanic like seaweed, nutty like edamame, or even nostalgic like a grandmother’s closet.
Smear Test
Examine the vibrancy, fineness, and hue of various matcha grades.
Onto the last part: make your own ceremonial matcha tea during the class and replicate it at the comfort of your home.
We’re honoured to support a thriving SMU community and to celebrate the university’s shared commitment to well-being and resilience.
