@sunnyinkyoto_32: If you think Japanese tea = matcha, you’ve only seen a fraction of it 🍵 What surprised me most wasn’t just the taste — it was how much intention exists behind every step. Shading techniques. Regional differences. Temperature control down to the degree. Even timing changes the texture and depth. Some teas are meant to refresh you. Some are meant to slow you down. Some feel almost like you’re drinking pure umami. The more I learn, the more I realize Japanese tea isn’t simple — it’s incredibly precise. And I love that there’s always more to discover. 📍 @kyoto_mandaracha #matcha #teaceremony #japanesetea #kyototrip #fyp
