Fukujuen is a long-established Uji tea shop founded in 1790. At Kyo-no-chagura, located on the basement floor of the main store in Kyoto, you can learn how to brew tea from a Japanese tea instructor, or try your hand at blending a cup of tea to find your favorite tea. Even the tea you normally drink without thinking about it can become much more delicious depending on how it is brewed!
