1. Highlights of the Tea Event

This tea event has three Topics: Tea Eat-in, Tea Bread & Sweets, and The Diversity of Tea. Let’s have a quick look at the highlights of each.

Tea Eat-in

Tea Eat-in

As the name suggests, “Tea Eat-in” allows you to sit down and slowly enjoy delicious tea-flavored sweets and afternoon tea. You can have an afternoon tea set from Uzna Omom or a delightful Japanese tea parfait from Pâtissière MAYO. Moreover, Oscar Brekell, a Japanese tea ceremony master from Northern Europe, will be attending to share the charm of Japanese tea with everyone.

Tea Bread & Sweets

Tea Bread & Sweets

This topic revolves around innovative tea-flavored bread and sweets. You can purchase the seasonal chestnut Mont Blanc from Tsujirihei Honten. Boulangerie S.Igarashi’s Earl Grey and Ganache is also highly recommended. This bakery specializes in using Japanese domestic wheat and natural yeast, so don’t miss it.

The Diversity of Tea

The final topic focuses on the tea leaves themselves. You can taste various flavors from Japan, China, Taiwan, etc. SENCHAISM is a brand that develops delicious Japanese teas. Their “Autumn Fires” is a tea inspired by autumn leaves made with green tea from Shizuoka Prefecture. It’s perfect for autumn and is highly recommended.

Hi, I'm delighted to get to meet you through my sharing. I am a freelance writer who loves traveling, reading, and food. I'm also the mother of a two-year-old child. Living in Japan for eight years has been both long and short—long enough for me to know Tokyo, where I reside, like the back of my hand, and short because there are still so many aspects waiting for me to explore. Here, I will share the fantastic culture and my thoughts about this beautiful country, hoping you will fall in love with Japan just as I have.
