Experience tea like in Japan in this immersive and traditional gyokuro experience
Gyokuro is a shaded Japanese green tea, considered the "champagne" of teas due to its refinement and the expertise involved in its production. Let yourself be enchanted by its captivating flavors during this hour and a half tasting experience, where you will discover Japanese tea like never before.
For those unfamiliar with gyokuro, let us introduce you to this tea through a unique experience where traditional techniques taught will enhance the flavors and enjoyment of the experience. Even those already familiar with gyokuro will find their understanding of this tea elevated to another level by the techniques introduced in this workshop.
During this experience, you will learn the history and specific characteristics of this renowned tea, as well as how to prepare it using traditional instruments to create a liquor with explosive aromas. The tea tasting will be accompanied by sweet and savory bites prepared for the occasion by our pastry chef Tsz Ha.
This workshop, offered by Mathilde - tea master - is inspired by the tea service as practiced in the Kyotanabe region. During this intimate ceremony, you will have the chance to taste three different gyokuro services with distinct flavors.
