About this Event
Experience the magic of Japanese green tea as we transport you across the country’s lush tea fields—from the port city of Nagasaki to the tea capital of Kyoto, ending in the plateaus of Shizuoka.
Sip on exquisite teas grown and crafted in each region while exploring the unique stories, traditions, and flavours that make them special. Start the year with warmth and inspiration in our tea workshop led by tea specialist Janice Chan.
