Honor both mind and body with a cup of this distinctive tea, a daily staple in Japanese life. Immediately after harvest, our growers steam the green leaves, then carefully roast them in the Hojicha style. This tea has a smooth, tasty flavor that's refreshing and renewing. Since 1989, our mission has been to improve the world one cup of tea at a time. As the first exclusively organic tea crafter in the United States, and later, the first to offer Fair Trade Certified tea, we craft the world's finest teas with conservation of the planet and its creatures in mind. Let's chat over a cuppa.
