Then while we sip together we can share my hidden secret tea spots, tea tips, and tea history PLUS answer any questions you have about Japan, Tokyo, Tea and Travel!
Let’s share a relaxing cup, get to know each other and connect across the globe. Teatime in Tokyo will bring us together! I will share tea secrets and tips only locals here know! I live in Sangenjaya Which in Japanese means “3 Tea Shops” my neighborhood was literally founded around green tea! Come have a cup with me.
With 24 years living and loving Japan and Japanese culture and a background in the restaurant and travel business I have been sharing my passion with visitors for years! The team I work with has hosted over 27,000 guests on walking food tours. We have a 5/5 rating on TripAdvisor with over 1360 positive reviews. I am personally a tea-expert and want to share the best of green tea culture as well as Japanese Foodie culture. Tokyo is arguably one of the most amazing food and travel destinations in the world. It is my goal to share stories and give guests a sense of the best Japan has to offer while sharing my tips for brewing the PERFECT cup of Japanese Green Tea together.
Where we will be:
I live in the Setagaya area of Tokyo, Just a short train ride from the heart of the city. I have traveled around Japan trying different teas and learning from experts. With many visits to Shizuoka one of the largest tea growing regions in Japan, and study trips to Uji, in Kyoto the home of Japan’s best Matcha, I will be able to share tea regions to inspire your future visit to Japan!

Instead of just being steamed like the other green teas, these leaves are also roasted in a porcelain or cast iron pot over charcoal at a high temperatures, which gives the tea a very particular reddish-brown color and a toasty caramel flavor, sweeter than other green tea varieties.
