On Tuesday 11 June, Consulate-General of Japan in Auckland hosted a school group from Kristin School (13 students, Year 10).
For the first half of the visit, we introduced the Rugby World Cup 2019 which will be held from Friday 20 September to Saturday 2 November with video clips and presentation. This will be the first time the tournament is to be held in Asia, and outside the traditional heartland of rugby union and for the last half of the visit, *Japan Tea Goodwill Ambassador Ms Chiwako Hoshina gave them a special talk and workshop on Japanese tea.
They learnt the best way to brew teas with Japanese tea pot and savored a selection of Japanese teas ( Sencha, Genmaicha, Matcha) and discovered the diversty of aromas and flavours. This Japanese tea workshop is perfect introduction for studetns; differentiation of the types of Japanese teas, tea wears and the benefitical effects of Japanese teas for everyday life.
*Ms Chiwako Hoshina is officially recognized as a Japan Tea Goodwill Ambassador by Japanese government and the only certified Japanese tea advisor in New Zealand. Her workshop is perfect for senior students.
