Samurai Chajin was born at the “Kyoto Expo of Tea” in 2017. At first, it was “CHA-Furumai” where Uji tea is brewed while performing. Later, it became a “Japanese Tea Show” where different types of tea are brewed at once, or tea for 100 people is brewed, etc. It became a show to watch and enjoy.
We began to offer tea experiences to guests from overseas either at Samurai Chajin’s house or at our tea farm, and now we have a tea event in Uji every month.
