Our Teas
At the heart of our tea program is a commitment to authenticity, craftsmanship, and exceptional quality. Every tea we serve is carefully sourced from some of Japan’s most celebrated growing regions — places where tea cultivation has been perfected over centuries.
Our ceremonial-grade Matcha is sourced directly from Uji, Japan, a region internationally renowned as the birthplace of the finest Japanese green tea. Uji’s unique climate, mineral-rich soil, morning mists, and centuries-old farming traditions create matcha with unmatched depth, vibrant color, and naturally smooth umami flavor. The leaves are shade-grown before harvest to increase chlorophyll and amino acid content, then carefully stone-ground into an ultra-fine powder that delivers a creamy texture, rich aroma, and balanced sweetness without bitterness.
Our Hojicha comes from Shizuoka, Japan, one of the country’s most respected tea-producing regions. Unlike traditional green tea, Hojicha is slowly roasted, transforming the leaves into a warm, nutty, caramel-like tea with notes of toasted cacao and roasted hazelnut. The roasting process naturally lowers caffeine while enhancing its comforting aroma and smooth finish, making it approachable for both seasoned tea drinkers and newcomers alike.
What makes our teas truly unique is not only where they come from, but how intentionally they are selected. We prioritize freshness, small-batch sourcing, and traditional production methods to preserve the integrity of each harvest. Many commercial teas lose complexity through mass production and long storage times — ours are chosen specifically for their purity, flavor clarity, and authentic regional character.
When you drink our Matcha or Hojicha, you are experiencing generations of Japanese tea craftsmanship in every cup. From the vibrant earthiness of Uji Matcha to the delicate roasted warmth of Shizuoka Hojicha, each tea is designed to offer a moment of calm, focus, and elevated daily ritual.
We believe tea should be more than just a beverage — it should be an experience rooted in quality, culture, and intention. That’s why we source directly from Japan’s most respected tea regions and serve only teas we genuinely believe stand apart in flavor, freshness, and authenticity.
Whether you are a lifelong tea enthusiast or discovering Japanese tea for the first time, our collection is crafted to deliver a level of quality you can taste from the very first sip.
