Mandaracha In Kyoto: A Frenchman’s Quest For Japanese Tea

Our guest is Alexander Nicolau who is the founder of Mandaracha https://www.mandaracha.com/ in Kyoto, which opened in 2019. Originally from France, Alex fell in love with Japanese tea while he was working in the fields of food technology and open innovation.

Mandaracha is a very special place where you can find a variety of Japanese tea, which Alex selected by visiting and meeting with each producer. You can also enjoy a tea ceremony and have other cultural experiences, such as a Shamisen guitar performance and a Rakugo comedy show.

In this episode, we will discuss how Alex got into Japanese tea, why he loves Japanese tea so much, the classic and new types of Japanese tea Alex recommends, the rapidly changing tea market, the future of the Japanese tea industry and much, much more!!!
