Class is in Session

If you don't know by now, I love tea. I love the variety of tastes and types; I prefer tea in its purest form. After visiting Ippodo Tea House (here) I immediately signed up for one of their tea classes. It wasn't any ordinary tea class but one for Shincha, a rare tea that is harvested only once a year. It was an amazing experience to learn more about tea, brew my own and connect with others over our love of all things tea.

Miwa gave us a taiyaki-like treat with mochi inside. Flown in straight from their Kyoto shop.

If you want to learn more about tea or love it as much as I do, I highly recommend Ippodo's tea classes.
