Giedrė shares, “After travelling to distant lands, learning everything I could, I came back to Lithuania with a mission to share my delicious cups of tea, coziness and Japanese aesthetic lifestyle. All the teas in the Yugen Tea collection come directly from farmers I have met in the tea fields of Japan.”
Puiki dovana –
The tea master knows her field very well, she talks in an engaging way. It was interesting to learn about the types of tea, its history, the method of preparation, and to learn to name the new flavors experienced. Specialness and authenticity are provided by traditional Japanese dishes used for tea preparation.

A wonderful experience and time for yourself. I was surprised by the variety of flavors, I was impressed by the variety of tea preparation methods. Time seems to have stopped, it’s a pleasure to listen and watch the tea making performance. Thank you for the new experience.

I really liked it!.. It was a meaningful time with our company – everyone discovered their new experiences, learned something interesting for themselves. It was a very pleasant delicious aesthetic experience.

Matthieu –
We came last Sunday for a teambuilding event, 9 of us pretty much unaware of the art of Japanese tea.
It was a wonderful time, relaxed, warm, cozy, interesting and entertaining, …but most of all delicious. Everybody enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend to spend such quality time in this beautiful place
Thank you Giedrė for sharing your beautiful passion, with sparkling eyes.
Yugen Tea –
It was a delight to welcome your company, and we are grateful for your recommendation, Matthieu! Warm regards from Giedrė.

Saturday afternoon was cool, but the tasting of Japanese tea not only warmed us from the inside, but also “drenched” our brains with new information and experiences: Giedrė shared her knowledge from life in Japan, taught us how to properly prepare tea, distinguish their smells and aftertastes, and surprised us with tasting surprises at the end! We were all impressed and had a great birthday afternoon in the wonderfully cozy “Yugen Tea” teahouse. Thank you! We will definitely come back not only to drink tea and eat dessert, but also to deepen our knowledge in the next tasting 🙂

My relationship with tea was very skeptical. “I only drink it when I have a cold.” But an hour and a half flew by too quickly – everything was super interesting, delicious, unexpected, and new. When I left the tasting, I was already thinking about when I’ll go to the next one. I will definitely return and recommend it to all my friends! Thank you 🍵
Nuostabi japoniškos arbatos degustacija –
Today we had a Japanese tea tasting with Giedrė. It was a wonderful time. Such warmth and coziness—she truly knows her craft and constantly updates her knowledge. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the tasting, but as soon as I arrived, all doubts disappeared—the environment was wonderful, cozy, and neat. The teas were very delicious and of excellent quality. I definitely don’t regret coming; I spent a great evening. I plan to return for more teas and desserts, and perhaps to join another tasting. A huge thank you to Giedrė!
Ačiū –
While looking for information about the tastiest matcha in Vilnius, I found this tasting. It was very interesting to learn about more types of tea from Japan. The atmosphere was very cozy. I was there alone, but I didn’t feel lonely 🙂 All the participants, the environment, and Giedrė created a cozy, warm, and flavorful atmosphere. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it, and I look forward to meeting again at other tastings 🙂

I had a wonderful time. It was really interesting to listen to Giedrė’s sincere and engaging storytelling about tea and to taste various teas. Everything felt very high-quality, “brought” into the session directly from Japan through the lecturer’s personal experiences and connections with local tea masters and farmers. I highly recommend it and would happily participate again, both in this one and in future sessions by the lecturer. Thank you!!
Japoniškos arbatos degustacija –
Labai patiko ir buvo įdomu sudalyvauti degustacijoje, seniai laukiau kažko panašaus Lietuvoje:) Arbatos parinktos kontrastingos tai skoniai tikrai įsiminė. Kas patiko mažiau, tai degustacijos erdvė, nes neatskirta nuo arbatinės ir trukdė garsais susikaupti darbuotojai ir klientai, sunku buvo kartais išgirsti meistrę, o visa kita tobulai!
Rūta –
A very pleasant experience. We learned a lot, tasted, and mastered the correct way to brew and serve tea. Now, at home, I follow the same method taught by the master Giedrė. It was a valuable experience. And that snack made from tea leaves—amazing! I am grateful and would love to return. Wishing you success!
