Japanese Tea Tasting + Walk-Through Workshop with ESTE | Saturday, April 11, 10AM

Japanese Tea Tasting + Walk-Through Workshop Date and Time: Saturday, April 11, 10-11:30AM Location: Home Ec + Best Bud Sidewalk Cafe Japanese tea is one of the world's great craft traditions shaped by region, season, and the hands of the people who grow it. In this 90-minute introduction, guests will explore that world through a guided information session and a comparative tasting of Sencha (green tea), Wakoucha (Japanese black tea), and Houjicha (roasted tea) paired with a small dessert. Each ticket also includes a bag of loose leaf tea to take home. Whether you're new to Japanese tea or simply curious to go deeper, this class offers a grounded, flavorful starting point. ESTE is a San Diego-based business built around one idea: that great tea deserves to be understood and enjoyed. They work directly with small producers across Japan, people who carry forward generations of craft while continuing to push the boundaries of what tea can be. From the terroir of Mie Prefecture to the hills of Yame, every tea in ESTE's catalogue reflects the region, the season, and the hands that made it. They are here to share that story, one cup at a time. The Fine Print All tools and materials are provided. Tickets are final sale and non-refundable. If you cannot attend, feel free to send a friend in your place. This workshop will take place outside, weather permitting. Extreme weather events or rain would lead to postponement.
