New Delhi Current Affairs: On the 1st, a tasting party of Japanese tea such as green tea and matcha was held in New Delhi , the capital of India.

There was also a demonstration of tea ceremony by Japanese residents, and about 50 people who participated enjoyed the taste of authentic tea.

Planned by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) to spread awareness of the appeal of Japanese tea and lead to increased consumption.

Since it is difficult to travel due to concerns about the new coronavirus infection, we had only products sent from companies in Shizuoka Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, and other prefectures aiming to sell in India.

India is the world’s largest producer of black tea, and the spread of Japanese green tea is “limited and yet to come,” according to a JETRO representative.

Even so, in recent years there has been a rise in health consciousness, and many Indians have come to know about Japan via the United States, where Japanese tea is popular.

Ankita Mishara (26), a company employee who participated, said, “The tea ceremony was very quiet and peaceful.

Japanese tea is not sweet and healthy. I think it goes well with sweets,” he said with a booming voice.
