Yugen Tea’s founder Giedrė invites tea latte lovers to take a closer look at matcha, genmaicha and hojicha teas, which can be used to make delicious and delicate drinks.
The tasting includes traditional Japanese matcha, genmaicha and hojicha teas, as well as learning the subtle points of latte preparation – from the right proportions to the balance of flavours. Participants will learn how to evaluate the quality of teas and get to know their different characters.
The experience will be complemented by a seasonal Yugen Tea drink, which will be served at the end of the tasting.
Matcha – very finely ground green tea powder. It is a ritual tea traditionally drunk during the Japanese tea ceremony. Growing, brewing and preparing matcha is a special process that requires a lot of time, love and patience.
Genmaicha – green tea with fried mochi rice. It is one of the most popular Japanese teas in the world, surprising with its slightly nutty and caramel notes.
Hojicha – green tea roasted at high temperatures. The leaves lose some of their caffeine during the roasting process, making this tea the perfect companion for any time of the day – warming, mild and soothing.

Giedrė, the founder of Yugen Tea, has been analysing Japanese tea culture for more than 10 years. She has completed Certified Tea Master Courses by Australian Tea Masters and Tea Blending Courses by Australian Tea Masters, as well as an internship at a tea farm in Japan.
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.”

Buvo tikra skonių fiesta. Iki šiol labai rezervuotai žvelgiau į matcha late, nes atrodė, kad tai arba prastos matcha slėpimas piene, arba geros matcha gadinimas. Šioje degustacijoje atradau, kad gali puikiai derėti aukščiausios kokybės matcha ir kitos žalios arbatos su augaliniu pienu, kai tai yra tinkamai suderinta ir visi skoniai vienas kitą papildo ir atskleidžia. Labai rekomenduoju ragauti ir atrasti. Giedrės nuoširdus dalinimasis, talentas kurti jaukumą taip pat prisideda prie puikios patirties. Dėkui!
