Learn how to make cute skewered Japanese sweets and original non-alcoholic tea cocktail designs, and enjoy matcha in a unique way. Your host, Emi, is a certified expert with a bounty of qualifications in the tea sphere, so you’re in excellent hands.
After graduating from college, Emi scored a job as a flight attendant where she took to the skies on a regular basis. Following these sky-high endeavors, she devoted herself to raising her daughters. As time progressed, Emi developed an interest in tea and herbs, which she pursued with a range of studies that eventually resulted in her own specialty tea design company! With a love for tea and creating beautiful designs, she developed her own trademark and unique style of tea mocktails, which you’ll get to experience! Her qualifications include Japan Tea Association Tea Instructor, Japan Medical Herbs Association Herbal Therapist, Lupicia Certified World Tea Meister and beyond.
