Great way to start your trip! - This was an absolutely wonderful experience - I wish we did it at the beginning of our trip! We were greeted by the most kind and welcoming host, Mike, and he gave us a really nice tasting experience and explanations of the tea’s we tasted, how they’re made, what they’re eaten with, and all the social Japanese background of it all too. We took back with us great suggestions for places to visit, the tea we loved the most, great stories/conversation, and wonderful memories. We were very pleased with it all - def recommend! :)

You do not want to miss out! - An amazing personalised experience. Mike was a wonderful host and spoke excellent English. The tea was fantastic as was the dessert. Mike was very knowledgeable about tea and really elevated our experience, and sharing Japan’s history with tea. Mike also provided us amazing recommendations for where to visit in Nara, what to eat (he was right about the best Ramen). We purchased a few extra items as everything is locally made and was so beautiful. I wish we had more space in our luggage to take home more. Our baby was having a great time too, even though he can’t drink tea yet. This was the highlight of our trip. We would 100% do this again and again. Thank you for an awesome afternoon. We loved every second of it.

Tea tasting comparison!! - I tried comparing different types of tea in the afternoon. I was able to try five different types and discovered some new teas for the first time. The place was a Japanese atmosphere that suited Japanese tea, and it was relaxing and fun. I'd like to introduce it to my friends when I go sightseeing in Nara!
