    Very informative and engaging matcha grinding experience. The Tea Museum is stellar, make sure not to miss it. Make sure to book this in advance, gets sold out fast.

    I really enjoyed this activity. Grinding the tea was very fun and learning all about how tea is grown in Uji. This was a very memorable experience for me on my trip to Japan.

    Grinding the tea was fun. Would have been nice to actually buy some matcha from there.

    The tea museum and matcha experience are fun to have but not an added value to a trip to Uji. The guide for the grinding experience struggled with English and just mentioned some basic stuff about tea. The museum is rather small and mostly in Japanese. It is fine but not an experience you would die to do. A Youtube guided tutorial would have been almost the same. Fun but wouldn’t do it again
