What an amazing experience! Akito’s tea farm tour was both incredibly enjoyable and deeply informative. His passion for Japanese tea is contagious, and his warmth and friendliness made the whole experience feel personal and authentic. We learned so much—not just about how tea is grown and processed, but also how to truly appreciate it. Akito’s energy, generosity, and expertise made this tour one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Highly recommended to anyone curious about Japanese culture or tea—you won't regret it! Thank you again, Akito! 🙏🍵 – Mathieu

We had such a great time! It was just my husband and myself, but we were kept easily entertained by the guides along the way. We were taught how to drink matcha as part of a tea ceremony and then brought to a miso park and got to take miso home. Tour of the castle grounds was beautiful. All in all a wonderful experience we will recommend to all we know.

Discover the Art of Japanese Tea

Japanese tea is not just a beverage; it's an experience that encompasses tradition, mindfulness, and even art. When you think of Japanese tea, the evergreen matcha often comes to mind, known for its vibrant green hue and rich taste. However, the world of Japanese tea extends beyond just matcha. From the subtlety of sencha to the unique aroma of hojicha, each type of tea offers a distinct flavor profile and health benefit. Experiencing Japanese tea in its homeland allows you to appreciate its preparation and presentation, which can be just as delightful as the taste itself.

Immersive Tea Experience in Japan

Engage in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, a cultural ritual that has been refined over centuries. The ceremony, rooted in Zen Buddhism, is more than drinking tea; it's a form of meditation where the process is highly valued. Witness the ceremonial preparation where matcha is whisked to perfection, and tea is served with an acute awareness of aesthetics, harmony, and respect. These experiences frequently allow you to participate hands-on, teaching you to whisk your own bowl of tea. Alongside, enjoy wagashi—traditional Japanese sweets—which perfectly complements the bitterness of the tea, providing a harmonious balance of flavors.

Japanese Tea Tours and Workshops

Expand your knowledge beyond the traditional ceremony with Japanese tea tours and workshops. Visit lush tea plantations and witness the harvesting process firsthand. Engage with local tea farmers who share insights about how Japan's unique climate and soil contribute to their distinct tea flavors. In workshops, learn the history of Japanese teas, from cultivation methods to varied preparation techniques. Whether you're a novice or a tea aficionado, these experiences will deepen your understanding and appreciation of tea. Most importantly, you will leave with newfound skills to bring the essence of Japan back home to your own tea rituals.
