Highlights
This experience is dedicated for people who want to go beyond Matcha and know about the world of Japanese tea. This small group activity is offered for the first time to allow guests to discover marvelous and unique products that exist only in Japan. Tea was introduced to Japan from China for the first time in the 9th century, making it the second oldest culture of tea in the world. Since then, Japanese have developed their own teas and perfected their techniques, resulting in gems that you can discover in the presence of an expert. This experience has been created and is delivered by the founder of the Mandaracha Tea House in person. English or French languages are available for this experience.

About Kyoto
Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for over a thousand years, is a city of temples, gardens, wooden townhouses and refined traditions.
The city holds many of Japan's most treasured sites. Fushimi Inari Taisha's thousands of vermilion torii gates climb a wooded mountain, Kinkaku-ji's Golden Pavilion shimmers over its pond, and Kiyomizu-dera's wooden stage juts from the hillside above the city. The rock garden of Ryoan-ji and the mossy grounds of Ginkaku-ji invite quiet contemplation.
Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
