He completed his 5-year apprenticeship with Bonsai Master Junichiro Tanaka in Nogoya, Japan early. Mr. Tea introduces himself: "I am very open in my teaching and have never liked keeping Bonsai a secret. I will do my best in answering any questions members and guest may have. I like to create a fun open environment and work with people from all skill levels. All that I ask is that the membership is open and ready to learn new things in Bonsai."

During his 2nd year of his 5-year apprenticeship with Bonsai Master Junichiro Tanaka in Nogoya, Japan. His teacher gave him permission to headline our 42nd Annual Exhibit. Mr. Tea later returned to MBS as our advance class instructor. Peter Tea often visits our society to present new ideas and current thinking and made a return engagement in 2016 as our 46nd Annual Exhibit.

Mr. Tea believes growing and collecting are the best way to get nice material. Additionally, learning from a skilled and qualified professional will help us all in first recognizing what good material is. Mr. Tea has been an MBS advanced class teacher with several MBS members.
