[Kyoto] Byodo-in Temple and Uji Matcha Half-Day Private Experience

Uji has grown Japan's best tea since the thirteenth century, and the difference between what is sold here and what is sold as matcha elsewhere is not subtle. The walk goes through the tea streets with a stop to grind and drink your own, then to Byodo-in's Phoenix Hall across its reflecting pond. Your guide covers grades, processing and why the price range is so wide.
