Japanese Tea Specialists Since 2001
Japanese tea, and who made it. Origin, processing, and how to brew. We list all three, for every tea we sell.
New this season

Shincha has landed

The first harvest of the year, shipped as soon as it reaches us. Greener and sweeter than the same tea will taste in six months.

Teaware

Handmade teapots from Tokoname, where they have been made for a thousand years, and canisters that keep tea from going flat.

Getting it right

How to brew

Leaf, water, time. The three things that decide what ends up in your cup.
