✨ A Green Tea Day Trip in Shizuoka 🍵


Hi there Reader --

Last week, we visited a green tea food and experience park in Shizuoka. You may not know this, but Shizuoka has the largest tea-growing area in Japan!

We brewed our own tea, enjoyed delicious matcha ice cream, and even experienced what it’s like to be a tea leaf!
