Do you like Japanese tea? Have you heard of Sencha (Infused Japanese tea leaves with hot water)? Matcha (Green tea powder mixed with hot water) is quite famous, but Japanese people do not drink it as often as they drink Sencha. In this tour, we pick tea leaves from a tea field and then roast them. Then you will be able to make your own tea as a souvenir. Tea around Mt. Fuji is very famous and super tasty in Japan. Come let’s learn in this hands-on experience how to make your very own Japanese tea!!
HIGHLIGHTS
• EXPERIENCE making your own tea from picking the leaves to roasting them.
• LEARN what’s make the Japanese tea special.
