What is a Japanese tea instructor

“Nihoncha (Japanese Tea) Instructors are well-informed persons who have extensive knowledge and skills of Japanese tea, including the history, cultivation, production, brewing methods, and methods of appraisal. They play an active role as working instructors for classes in tea brewing methodology at culture schools, public halls, and elementary schools; support tea events as staff; and operate Japanese tea cafés.”
