This tour, exclusive to Seabourn Guests, begins with a visit to the Tea Garden. View the tea plants here and learn about the challenges and intricacies of growing these shockingly high-maintenance shrubs. Of course, you will also taste the tea grown by dedicated and meticulous farmers whose pride in their work is consistently evident.
A local restaurant serves a Japanese-style lunch accompanied by a selection of teas curated by a Tea Master. The Tea Master personally prepares the tea for each dish and provides detailed tasting guidance that discusses the various aromas, visual characteristics, and taste sensations.
