I participated a tea workshop of ChaYou tea company, held in Tokyo.
He brought some tea leaves from Nagasaki for the workshop to entertain customers in Tokyo.
What is most interesting moment of tea for me is tasting tea listening tea story from the grownor/maker. Today the moment came.
SHIH TEAPOT SHOP sells some of tea leaves from ChaYou tea company(Asatsuyu & Yamagiri). Some of customer repeatedly give us order of their tea. All of their tea leaves are high quality and has wonderful taste.
The president cares tea plants well, produces tea leaves and blends and fires with very detailed techniques.
