What to expect
matcha trip
Do you know "real" matcha? There are a lot of fake matcha products in the world. A former tea farmer who has grown tea for 6 years in Kyoto tells you about the fun and depth of matcha. You can enjoy 10 types of matcha from 5 tea production areas(Kyoto, Shizuoka, Aichi, Fukuoka, Kagoshima). After comparing the drinks, choose the matcha you like best and make matcha by yourself. ①Gather at the place of experience. ②Enjoy the welcome drink. While having welcome drink, we explain about matcha's history and production that you enjoy today. ③Comparison of matcha. We serve 8 types of matcha. 6 of them are ceremonial grade, 2 are not defined as matcha but are sold as matcha around the world. After you look at the color of matcha, we will make tea and serve it, so please enjoy the color, fragrance, and taste. ④Matcha making experience. Choose the matcha you like best from the ones you tried and make matcha by yourself. Finally, make Ousucha (matcha) using a bamboo tea whisk. Once you've completed your experience, you'll still be able to make matcha at home. ⑤Enjoy matcha latte and matcha sweets. We use our original blend matcha that goes perfect with milk and sugar. ⑥We say good-bye.
