About the Course
🌱 GREEN TEA CLASS
Freshness & Clarity
Green tea remains closest to the original state of the leaf.
In this class, you will explore how minimal processing preserves its immediacy—resulting in a tea that is direct, clear, and often misunderstood in its simplicity.
Through understanding its production and cultural role, you will begin to recognize the value of what is already present, without transformation.
What appears simple often reveals the most—when observed closely.
