Budapest's Only Tea Omakase Experience
You've done the ruin bars. You've done the thermal baths. Now do something nobody back home will believe.
Okuma is Budapest's only tea omakase — a guided, no-menu tasting journey through five single-origin teas, sourced directly from the farms of China, Taiwan, or Japan. No tea bags. No shortcuts. No choices. Just you, your host, and a series of small, extraordinary moments in a cup.
The Space
Hidden inside an old Budapest apartment building, Okuma is a 150sqm Japandi teahouse unlike anything else in the city. Finding it is already part of the experience - a true urban oasis where the only thing on the agenda is slowing down.
What is tea omakase?
Omakase means “I leave it up to you.” You sit. Your host leads. Over 2 to 2.5 hours, you move through five teas, five brewing methods, and five completely different worlds.
It's intimate. It's unhurried. And it will almost certainly change the way you think about something you've been drinking your whole life.
Your Host
This didn't start as a business. It started as an obsession.
Tea isn't what he does - it's how he lives. What you'll feel from the first minute is a genuine desire to share that world with you. No lecture, no performance. Just warmth, depth, and two hours inside someone else's lifelong passion.
This might surprise you
Tea is the second most consumed drink on the planet — and most people have never actually tasted it. What makes one oolong completely different from another? Why does brewing temperature change everything? What are the rituals, the tools, the tiny decisions that turn a leaf into something worth travelling for?
Your host will answer all of this, and a lot more you didn't know you wanted to ask.
