tomoike yuka - CONTRIBUTOR & tea instructor
Born in Fukuoka City, I am still living in this great city. I love travelling, yoga, Netflix and learning French.
Raised on Kyushu Island in a traditional family, green tea has always been part of my life. There was a time when I was very interested in coffee and tea, but in the end, I realized that green tea was the best for my palate and my daily life.
The real passion started when I tried to self-brew a very famous tea, Yame Gyokuro. It is such a delicious tea ... but for some reason I couldn’t brew it well. It was the start of my quest for green tea best tasting and preparation. I eventually became a Japanese tea instructor. Recently, I have been on different combination of tastes, marriage with food, dessert and sometimes alcohol, too. Tea is such a fun product to work with! It is a part of me, all day long.
