Tastings & Workshops

Izzy hosts guided Japanese tea tastings informed by experience working hands-on in the tea fields of Wazuka, and as an Ambassador for Obubu Tea Farms.
Tea Lili tasting sessions offer a relaxed, interactive dive into the world of Japanese tea ~ from the way it's grown & processed to how it is brewed into the cup you are sipping. Whether you're trying houjicha for the first time or you're already tea-obsessed, you'll leave with a head full of new stories and a belly full of tea.

What to expect
Each tasting is a guided journey through several teas ~ from spring sencha to roasted houjicha, matcha and rare finds. I'll talk you through where each tea comes from, how it's grown and processed, and how to brew it properly at home. Expect good conversation, good tea, and usually a sweet treat on the side. Session formats are flexible and can be tailored to the group.
