This was a very special experience. Meet people who run a tea plantation full of love and passion and deliver tea all over the world. Tasted tea that was particularly tasty. Green tea that is even healthier than matcha. Highly recommended! Guide Noa was also great and gave us the tip to visit the horai bridge on the way back
Very Great and unforgettable experiences! The tour guide Stella was very professional with good English speaking! She also helped us to arrange the tea making in the following day, so that we could have more fun! Sakyo-san was also very professional in introducing different kinds of tea to us! We enjoyed it so much!
Nao was a wonderful tour guide. She promptly met us at the train station and took care of everything. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon of tea sampling and learning about tea harvesting at the farm. It felt more like an afternoon spent with family than a tour. We made new friends and lifetime memories!
I had a great time with Stella at the tea farm. Even though I booked this two between the harvest seasons, I could pick some tea leaves myself and got a demonstration how the tea is harvested by machine. The farmer also showed me the machines required for the manufacturing process (I was so glad that Stella could translate everything!). I also could try few cups of delicious green tea and had an amazingly conversation with Stella and the farmer. Would highly recommend this Tour for anyone interested in tea and Japanese culture!
