Online Tea Course - 5 Great Teas of Japan - Video Information

Tea buyer and writer Bruce Richardson travels annually to Japan to meet the growers who are leading the country's tea renaissance.

40% of the tea consumed in America at the turn of the twentieth century came from Japan's new tea gardens - and it was all green!

Bruce was the editor of the 2011 Benjamin Press edition of Okakura Kakuzo's classic 1906 BOOK OF TEA. You will learn how Japanese tea came to be found in general stores across America after the Civil War and how the art of Japanese tea influenced Western art during the Gilded Age.

You will discover how to correctly steep these teas to release their full flavor and health benefits. Then discover the unique tastes found in Japan's five great teas:

  • Sencha
  • Hojicha
  • Kukicha
  • Gyokuro
  • Matcha

Purchase an optional tasting kit.
