Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, near Uji, one of the most famous tea growing areas in Japan. We visit Jack Convery, a master of the Japanese tea ceremony, and the Hotta-en company to gain an insight into the production of Japanese green tea.

Kyushu, the southernmost of the four main islands, with its own character, offers the best climate for growing tea and is one of the three major tea-growing regions. On Kyushu we visit tea gardens and meet Mr Tokunaga.

Hadong, on the southern coast of South Korea, is one of the most important mountains for tea cultivation in Korea. South Korea offers an extremely exciting tea culture that is hardly known here. We meet Mr Yunseok, who produces our excellent Korean green teas, and visit tea gardens.
