5.00We learned so much about tea plants, tea production, and even how to prepare matcha for casual drinking in lattes. We sampled so many great teas and had excellent matcha and hojicha sweets to round things out near the end!
You learn, experience, and enjoy! The best!

5.00I can't stress enough how great this experience is. The host knows his tea, and taught us in an inviting and interested manner. He kept our attention (and our palates) throughout. It wasn't just trying 7 types of tea and learn to make matcha. Within the 7 types of teas, and 3 matchas, there were variations in taste with temperature which we experienced. And yes, he taught us how to properly make matcha, which I feel confident I could do now. This was by far one of the best experiences I have had.
We had a tea-rific time

5.00It was awesome! We learned a lot and could ask as many questions as we wanted. It was a real crash course on Japanese tea. We really wanted to learn a lot so this was perfect, really worth the time. The only thing is that we should have eaten a bit more to balance all the tea we drank, but otherwise it was really perfect, would recommend to anyone with some interest in tea.

5.00This was an intimate, informative and enjoyable overview of Japanese tea - how it is grown, processed, and enjoyed. It was a great experience, with lots of tasting, time to answer questions and make your own matcha the right way. Chisei and his wife were great hosts

5.00This was one of my favorite experiences in Tokyo! They provided a wealth of knowledge as a former tea farmer about the tea we got to experience. His wife made DELICIOUS homemade sweets (best I had on this trip!!!) and we even got to eat tea leaves- a delightful experience I did not know was even possible. Overall, book this experience for a unique and meaningful time! We learned a great deal.
