Tea has been a vital part of Japan's heritage and culture for hundreds of years. The Japanese tea ceremony - which celebrates green matcha tea - is one of the most elaborate and sacred tea ceremonies in the world. Today, Japan is known around the globe for its clean, light green tea. Japan also produces high quality black teas and flavored teas.
Choose from a wide variety of premium loose leaf Japanese teas such as Matcha, Sencha, Gabalong, and Gyokuro in organic and comventional varieties. Japanese tea samplers and full ceremony sets also available.


Sencha Yabukita Organic
This selection from Kirishima, in Kagoshima prefecture, is crafted from the Yabukita cultivar and usually reserved for the domestic market. The mouth feel has a decidedly brothy character, and the flavor has a classic "umami" aspect. A superb specimen of this style and grade.

Sencha Special Grade Yamato
A superior grade of Sencha, with a brighter flavor and smoother finish than basic Sencha. Highly recommended.


Season's Pick Japanese Sencha Organic
A sweet, delicate fragrance introduces this organic Japanese Sencha tea. The yellow-jade cup has a light vegetal character with savory hints of umami. A gentle sweetness complements the clean finish. A great value.

Sakura Scented Kukicha
Tiny, pink cherry blossoms peek out from bright green twigs in this unique offering from Japan. The golden yellow liquor is redolent with fragrant floral notes. A light vegetal undertone complements a buttery sweetness in the smooth, refreshing cup.

Red Matcha Bowl
A dark red glaze was drizzled over an underglaze of light chocolate brown to create a warm color harmony on this ceramic Matcha bowl (chawan). Used in the preparation of Cha-no-yu, this traditional bowl has a capacity of approximately 8 ounces and measures 4 ¼ inches wide at the rim by 2 ½ inches deep.

Organic Tamaryokucha
Tamaryokucha, literally translated as "coiled tea", is a superb, handcrafted green tea that has a full, complex flavor. Vegetal notes and a pleasing pungency are accentuated by hints of dark berries and a sweet aftertaste. Produced in Takachiho, Miyazaki, from the Yabukita cultivar.
