Tour Schedule

The tour begins at 9:30am at the d:matcha café and ends at around 1:15pm.

Introduction to tea: Once you arrive at the café, we begin with an introduction to the world of Japanese tea. You’ll learn how tea leaves are grown, harvested, and processed, and how these steps shape the flavors of sencha, matcha, and other teas.

Tea Farm Walk (Lower Fields): We start by visiting the tea fields surrounding our café. Here, you’ll see tea growing up close and gain further insight into how we grow delicious tea and why this area is special.

Visit Hakusan Shrine: A gentle uphill hike leads us through cedar trees toward Hakusan Shrine, which has long watched over the tea fields below. The quiet forest stairway and mountain air offer a refreshing pause and a moment of calm.

Panoramic Tea Fields: From Hakusan Shrine, we continue to tea fields overlooking Yubune from above. This bird’s-eye view reveals the full scale and beauty of the tea-covered landscape stretching across the hills.

Tea Picking: The next experience we have in store for you is tea picking. You'll be shown how to pluck leaves with the same techniques that was used back in the day.

Factory Visit: Before lunch, we visit our tea factory, where freshly harvested leaves are transformed into finished tea. Our staff will explain the machines and processes that bring out each tea’s unique character.

Tea Tasting: To conclude the tour, enjoy a guided tasting of three sencha and three matcha varieties. You’ll learn proper sencha brewing techniques and whisk your own bowl of matcha. The tasting is paired with green tea tempura made using leaves you picked earlier!

Lunch: The tour includes your choice of one of the following meals: 1. Matcha tan tan noodles (gluten-free) 2. Sencha genovese pasta (gluten-free) 3. Hojicha rice curry (gluten-free). We also offer desserts and drinks for an additional cost.
