History alongside tasting a number of teas - very interesting cultural information and understanding of ritual
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed learning the history alongside tasting different teas, and found the cultural insights into the ritual so interesting. Thanks for joining us, hope to see you again soon!
I went with my boyfriend and parents, and all had a good time. It was difficult to find location but the YouTube video provided helped us get there. Amazing service from our tea expert. We watched her make tea and then was able to do it ourselves. Seemed very knowledgeable on wagashi and spoke excellent English!
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We're so glad you, your boyfriend, and your parents all had a great time together. Glad the YouTube video helped you find us despite the tricky location - we'll keep that in mind! And wonderful to hear our tea expert's knowledge on wagashi and English came through so well during the hands-on experience. Thanks again for joining us!
