日本茶 美食體驗(5)

They have the best guide i have seen so far how you come to the tea farm because it is not in the city. Nice tasting, learning an experience. You should try this out!

My friend and I visited the Obubu tea farm in May 2024. We were staying in Kyoto, so it took about 2 hrs of public transport to reach the farm. It was nice to get put of the city and spend time in a lush and rural environment. I particularly enjoyed the visit to the tea fields and the tastings after lunch. It might be a good idea to have either a microphone or some other device while touring the factory, since the machines were so very loud, I didn’t hear a word ☹️

It was really nice. It was nice that the guys were very passionate and transmitted both very deep and professionally but still very enjoyable information. The place haca a great energy and the tea was delicious. I would like to do an internship at the farm. I would give them a 10. Very well orginezed.

This tour was absolutely wonderful because of our particular guide, Sae. She developed a great spirit amongst the participants and educated us all in a gentle manner. We had a terrific time.

Those who are interested in learning about planting, growing, harvesting, and brewing all-things green tea, including matcha tea, this tour would be a very informative and enjoyable. Definitely, more substantive than the touristy ritual tea ceremony. The staff worked hard to present lots of information. The big downside is that you have to get to the bus stop by the tea plantation and it’s not a straight forward ride. It would be good if there is a tour which meets in Kyoto center and escort you to the tea plantation for those who don’t want to deal with hassle of either driving or navigate through the public transit system. All in all a different day trip experience.
