🍵 This course introduces various types of Japanese green tea, such as sencha, gyokuro, matcha, hōjicha, and genmaicha, along with their production processes.
🍵 Because they have distinct characteristics, each tea has its own method of preparation, whether in terms of water temperature, amount of leaves, or steeping time.
🍵 The philosophy of the Japanese tea ceremony (sadō) will also be discussed, which values the principles of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility.
🍵 During this session, participants will taste several types of green tea, enjoying not only this iconic Japanese beverage but also the social and cultural act of drinking tea in Japan.

Marta Mundo
Marta Mundo has been learning about traditional Japanese culture over the past few years. As a student of sadō, she was accepted in 2017 by an Omotesenke sensei in Hiroshima as a kyaku. At the same time, she was learning how to wear a kimono.
⛩️ Later, she was accepted by a Urasenke sensei in Shiga as a teishu and deepened her understanding of the practical, aesthetic, and philosophical aspects related to Zen. In 2022, she moved to Tokyo to continue her studies in sadō, wagashi, and chashitsu design.
⛩️ Driven by curiosity, self-discovery, and research, Marta has undertaken several pilgrimages, notably the Shikoku Henro 88 twice, the last time as a fellow of the Fundação Oriente. She is the author of “A Year in Japan” and “Shikoku: A Sacred Island of Tales and Encounters.”
