Japan Tea Tour w/ Uyo Okabe

Due to the high demand, we are hosting another Japan Tea Tour!!!!

There’s more to Japanese tea than just Matcha and green tea.

Ever since tea was first introduced from China in the 8th century, Japan has carved its own unique path in the tea world.

With your guide Uyo Okabe (Tea producer, Tea Art festival curator, and founder of Japan Tea Brewers Championship), you’ll learn about Japanese tea history from its beginnings in the 8th century to the modern incarnation and inventions shaping tea today.

There will also be a tea tasting component to compliment the talk, where you will explore the beautiful diversity of Japanese tea offerings with 6 different teas from around the bountiful island including Matcha, Gyokuro, Bancha and others.
