Led by Balázs, we will taste 5-6 exceptional Japanese teas: selected from the sencha, kabusecha, gyokuro, hojicha, genmaicha and/or wakocha lines. With a fiery finish…

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

We will hold the event if a minimum of 4 people register, and we can accommodate a maximum of 10 people.
We recommend that you arrive with lunch.

Please do not wear perfume or heavily scented clothing/cosmetics. (We taste in an intimate, small space, paying attention to the delicate aromas of the teas and the harmony of the five senses. Please do not wear lipstick, as it may leave marks on our delicate, unglazed teacups.
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.
