About This Tour
Many tea experiences in Japan focus only on matcha and formal tea ceremony. This workshop explores a different side of Japanese tea culture—how tea is actually brewed and enjoyed in everyday life. • Discover several styles of Japanese tea, not just matcha • Brew tea like a master using tried-and-tested traditional techniques, a Japanese iron kettle, and locally sourced organic whole tea leaves • Learn practical brewing skills you can easily recreate at home • Compare how the same tea changes between the first and second infusion • Experience a unique cultural twist: tea paired with Shochu, inspired by casual izakaya drinking culture We hope the knowledge and experience from this workshop will deepen your appreciation for Japan—the Land of the Rising Sun.
