(2) When I Visiting the site of the factory, I heard that it was roasted at 200~300 degrees Celsius with a machine, so it was fun 🤩 to try it for children 🤣 who were scared, saying, "Isn't it hot!?" I was very interested in the Tea leaves, which are roasted and turn into a nice Aroma, and I learned 😊 about the manufacturing process of kama-roasted tea while exchanging impressions such as "I like the smell!" and "But it's tiring~💦" (3) Types of tea utensils, how to use them, tips for brewing delicious Tea at the temperature of the water to be brewed, etc. Tasting 🍵✨ the tea by actually brewing it yourself while learning various things It smells like corn soup!
