One of the main attractions near Kyoto! - This experience was one like no other. I went along with my girlfriend who is a matcha fanatic and despite me not being a tea/matcha fan, had an incredible time and learned a lot. The host, Hiroyoshi, has you at his house just 45-50 minutes train ride from Kyoto. He will pick you up in his car and provide you with a green tea experience like no other. I left with a much greater appreciation for matcha and Japanese Green Tea! Hiroyoshi will teach you the history and brewing techniques of various different types of tea. His hospitality is incredible, and you can buy some tea leaves from his farm at very competitive prices! DO NOT MISS THIS!

Great tea experience - You will be picked up by the very nice guide, a local tea farmer, at the train station by car and taken to the location (about 10 minutes). There you will be told all about growing and harvesting Japanese tea with a focus on matcha for over 90 minutes and shown with the help of videos of your own tea plantation. This is accompanied by numerous matcha tastings and explanation of tea etiquette. You grind matcha leaves into powder yourself and it is explained hands-on how the powder is then whipped into the drink. Questions will be answered very carefully. Furthermore, the host gives his bartender skills the best and entertains his guests again. After countless matchas and 90 minutes the event ends and you are driven back to the train station. A really great offer that you absolutely must have experienced!
