This was a very special experience. Meet people who run a tea plantation full of love and passion and deliver tea all over the world. Tasted tea that was particularly tasty. Green tea that is even healthier than matcha. Highly recommended! Guide Noa was also great and gave us the tip to visit the horai bridge on the way back
