Arbor Teas was started by a husband and wife team of tea enthusiasts with a lot of passion; passion for top quality tea, of course, but also the environment, fair trade, and the community.  Japan House is delighted to offer this chance to learn about the manufacture of high quality, organic, sustainable Japanese sencha tea.  Come to learn, and get a chance to taste, at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.!

Free garden tours, rain or shine, at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 pm.!
