Whether you’re a cultural enthusiast or simply curious, this hands-on experience offers a memorable journey into Japan’s refined tea traditions.
The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.
The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.

★★★★★A deeply personal and unforgettable tea ceremony experience! Miwako’s tea ceremony was beyond wonderful. I was honored to be her first student and to help inaugurate her beautiful new tea room. She prepared traditional sweets, explained each step with patience and grace, and even came to pick me up and take me back to the station. She also helped me find where to buy authentic matcha and the proper tea whisk — even calling the shop to reserve the last one for me! Her warmth, generosity, and attention to detail made this one of the most meaningful experiences of my entire trip to Japan.
