Tasting the Staple Japanese Teas

Sunday, April 14 @ 1:00 pm (45-60 min.)

Japan is known for its rich tea culture, with various types of teas being an integral part of daily life. Each variety, whether it be the grassy zest of Sencha, the umami depth of Gyokuro, or the toasted warmth of Genmaicha, tells its own story. With every patient steep, the leaves gently unfold, releasing their heritage in waves of soothing, verdant essence. The traditional Japanese tea tasting is not just about the palate—it's an indulgent, meditative experience, artfully crafted to captivate the senses and transport one to the tranquil gardens and serene spaces of Japan. So let the journey begin, pour out the bustling thoughts, steep in the tranquillity, and relish each sip, for Japanese tea is not just a drink, it's an enlivened poetry, an immersive passage into the realms of zen.
