Field notes

The exhibition uses a four-part visitor sequence—Discover, Experience, Share, and Bring Home—to connect regional tea histories with tasting, conversation, and take-home purchases. Its regional examples range from Wuyi rock oolong in Fujian to Thái Nguyên green tea in Vietnam and high-, medium-, and low-grown Ceylon teas in Sri Lanka. The page lists a September 12–13, 2026 program at Marunouchi KITTE, with 700-yen tasting tickets sold in two-hour slots.
