Learn about Japanese green Tea in London

With a special focus on the art of Japanese green tea making, you will learn more about different types of green teas in Japan. You will learn that Japanese green tea varies a lot in terms of their processing methods and cultivars and also learn about differences between Japanese and Western style brewing methods to make a perfect cup of Japanese green tea.
