Matcha - My 15 year old son wanted to go to Uji to find out more about his love of Matcha tea, we found this experience on Viator. We had an incredible experience learning about the history of Matcha tea, a nice drive through the valley to see the tea fields, a visit to a tea farm where we learned about the growing and harvesting process. We had lunch at a local tea shop, the matcha soba noodles were amazing and the ice cream was the best we have had in Japan We had a private tea tasting, experiencing the different flavors and intensity of Matcha tea The whole family loved the experience and could not recommend it enough
