We will talk about the growing regions, producers, proper preparation, and how to choose good Japanese tea.

The event will be held with a minimum of 4 participants and a maximum of 6 participants.

=========================================

Please do not wear perfume or strongly scented clothes/cosmetics. (We will be tasting in an intimate, small space, focusing on the delicate aromas of the teas and the harmony of the five senses. Please do not wear lipstick, as it can leave marks on our sensitive teacups and affect perception.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Personal contact

Our teas don't come from wholesale warehouses or unknown sources. We travel to the small producers we source from – whether it's a Japanese family tea garden, a Chinese mountain village or an oolong maker in Taiwan.

Stories

We meet them in person, learn their story, see how they care for their plants, and how they process the fresh leaves.
These experiences are the soul of our teas. This way, not only is the quality guaranteed, but also the fact that behind each cup there is a real person, a real story.

Direct

This direct relationship is valuable to us. Not only because of the excellent tea, but because we believe that trust, respect and personal presence are what make the tea drinking experience truly special.
