The Fruits of Our Japan Trip — A Tasting in Two Rounds (Sat 4 July 2026)

Saturday, 4 July 2026 · UNEARTHED Gallery, Munich

This spring we travelled through Japan once again and came back with a suitcase of tea samples — rare matcha, sencha and shaded teas we're considering for the line-up. Before any of it reaches the shop, we'd like to pour it for you. Come taste the fruits of the trip and help us decide what stays.

Two relaxed rounds. Book one, or both at a saving of €11. Held in English (German on demand).

Round 1 · 14:00–15:30 · Matcha

• A blend from one of Kagoshima's most renowned makers — brighter, fuller, more vegetal
• Handpicked blends from Aichi — smooth, rounded, approachable; mid and high grade in sequence (probably very close to real Uji quality)
• Uji: Samidori & Ujihikari, side by side — two cultivars from the same district, closing on a rare Ujihikari from one of Japan's finest organic tencha farmers

Round 2 · 15:30–17:00 · Sencha & Shaded Teas

• A handpicked deep-steamed (fukamushi) sencha — fuller, sweeter, lower in astringency
• A hand-rolled Mandokoro — native (zairai) bushes around 150 years old, high in the Shiga mountains, picked this May; intensely aromatic and almost never seen outside Japan
• A tasting flight of leaf teas from the remote mountains of Aichi — gyokuro / kabusecha /sencha, low and slow
