The experience was amazing. I saw how the tea is made and saw the tea field . I learned how intricate the matcha is made. And I learned so many things like the right manner and history of matcha.
The tour was very fun and the fact that you can see the tea fields as well as how the tea leaves become matcha powder along with a very well explained tea ceremony and a great and kind guide made it a remarkable experience in Japan! Also, it was the best matcha I’ve had in Japan 🍵
