Hello from a French tea fan in Japan

[Flonihoncha]

Hello everybody,

I'm a french guy living in Japan for 6 years.
Fond of tea, especially Japanese ones, I'm also the first French to obtain here the qualification of Japanese Tea Instructor 日本茶インストラクター.
Sorry for my bad English.

 

[nice gaijin]

what does it mean to be a "tea instructor"? Do you mean 茶道?

 

[Flonihoncha]

Hello, thank you for your question.
No Nihoncha Instructor is not Sado sensei or something.
This more like "Japanese tea Sommelier".
It's general knowledge about all Japanese teas, such as tea farming, processing, brewing methods, history, tea industry, etc.

 

[nice gaijin]

ah I see, thank you for clarifying. I know little about tea beyond the fact that I like it!

 

[Flonihoncha]

You're welcome.

Japanese tea is not only delicious, it's fascinating !!!
If you have any questions about it....
