Seasonal Tea
Blueberry Matcha Latte
We've layered the rich aroma of organic matcha over the fresh, sweet-tart flavor of juicy blueberries.
A cup where the fruit's gentle tartness slowly melds with the rich flavor of matcha.
A vibrant, colorful summer matcha latte to enjoy.
Seasonal Tea
Amber Soda with Sencha and Ginger
Organic sencha is carefully cold-brewed with a blend of ginger.
The gentle sweetness of agave syrup layers with the refreshing fizz of soda, letting ginger's aroma gently unfold.
With its beautiful amber hue, it offers a nostalgic, refined flavor reminiscent of hiyashiame (chilled ginger candy drink).
Seasonal Tea
Cold-Brewed Gyokuro
We've carefully cold-brewed this tea over time to draw out the rich umami unique to organic gyokuro.
It offers a smooth, mellow mouthfeel and an elegant sweetness that spreads with a cool, refreshing sensation.
A luxurious cold tea, perfect for summer, that invites you to savor its lingering aftertaste with every sip.
Seasonal Tea
Oolong Tea
Made with organically grown tea leaves, this oolong tea offers a refreshing drinking experience layered with a floral, gentle aroma.
With its restrained astringency and depth of flavor, it's a cup that gently accompanies you through the hot season.
