About
Delicate and harmonious, Organic Meiji Sunset invites you into a world of enchanting contrast. Embrace bright notes of dark fruit, a ballet of balanced tannins, and a well-rounded mouthfeel.
This tea is an ode to intensity wrapped in elegance, and is a perfect companion to a luxurious breakfast or 5pm break.
It requires no accompaniment of milk or citrus, as the inherent power of the flavour shines through; however, it graciously accepts the company of either, merging strength with subtlety.
Origin & History
Embark on a sensory journey to Tanegashima, a jewel among the Osumi Islands in the southern Kagoshima Prefecture. Tanegashima's volcanic soil is nurtured by abundant rainfall, and the land is home to a breathtaking array of birds.
In the bygone eras of Meiji and Taisho, Japan crafted black tea of unparalleled quality for export to the Western world. Alas, the tides of a World War and the rise of the British Empire's Eastern colonies as the preferred origin for black tea dimmed Japan's export glow. Today, only a small fraction of Japanese tea is made in a 'black' style.
Kuritwase (Tanegashima's emblematic cultivar) is a rarity elsewhere in Japan. Celebrated for yielding exceptionally delicious tea, both green and black, it weaves a tale of tradition and taste.

Discover the comforting embrace of our Organic Morimachi Genmaicha, a harmonious blend of bright, steamed green tea and roasted rice.
Sourced from the foothills of Mount Fuji, this tea offers a unique, toasty flavour that is both soothing and invigorating. Each sip evokes a sense of warmth and tranquility, transporting you to a peaceful moment of reflection and calm.
Perfect for any time of day (if you aren't caffeine sensitive), let the balanced richness of Genmaicha be your companion in finding serenity and comfort.
Origin & History
Genmaicha was originally created to make use of lower-quality sencha, as the roasted rice softened any astringency.
In this case, we're using a sencha that is delicious on its own, because we love the flavour of a high-quality genmaicha.
This particular batch of Genmaicha comes from the foothills of Mount Fuji.

About
This is a unique, very aromatic peppermint from a biodynamic grower.
Peppermint is known to deliver cooling energy and powerful sinus-opening properties, in addition to promoting relaxation. A great option when you're fighting off a cold.
Origin & History
Just one of over 600 different known varieties of mint, peppermint became ubiquitous for a reason.
Peppermint is a natural hybrid of water mint (mentha aquatica) and spearmint (mentha spicata) and was first cultivated in England in the late seventeenth century.
Grown in Cascadia, this soothing, cooling, caffeine-free peppermint is a staple for any tea lover who wants to relax and unwind.
In holistic medicine and aromatherapy, peppermint tea and/or oil is commonly used to assist with a wide array of issues, including:
- digestive upsets
- tension & migraine headaches
- clogged sinuses
- muscle aches & joint pain
- stress
- menstrual cramps
Experience the refined elegance of our Organic Premium Dragon Well (Long Jing) tea, hand-picked in early spring from the serene tea gardens of Yellow Mountain.
This exquisite green tea captures the essence of its storied origins with a rich, nutty flavour and a clear, yellow-green infusion.
Each sip brings a moment of pure tranquility, inviting you to pause and appreciate the delicate craftsmanship and natural beauty that define this celebrated tea.
Origin & History
Dragon Well or Long Jing (龙井 in simplified Chinese | 龍井 in traditional Chinese) is one of the most famous styles of green tea in China. It originated in Hangzhou's West Lake region, in today's Zhejiang Province, China.
There are two cultivars used for the vast majority of this tea:
- "Bendi" (or native) is the oldest, heirloom cultivar
- "43" is a younger cultivar, developed in the latter part of the 20th century, and is commonly used to improve yields.
This particular batch of Dragon Well tea comes from the fabled Yellow Mountain, in Anhui province. They are using Bendi cultivar in a pristine tea garden, which yielded the best value-for-money (aroma, taste & environmental stewardship) among all the Dragon Well samples that we tried this year.
We chose this origin because it is much farther than West Lake from major urban developments, and because these particular growers have been supplying us with delicious, organically grown tea for over 10 years.

We will have an alternate Gunpowder Tea available by ~July 9th. Hang tight!
Embark on a bold journey with our Organic Premium Gunpowder tea.
Known for its intense, robust flavour, this classic Chinese green tea, called Zhu Cha or "Pearl Tea", offers a dynamic experience.
The tightly rolled leaves unfurl to release a strong, invigorating taste that awakens your senses.
Perfect for starting your day with energy and focus, let the rich heritage and powerful essence of Gunpowder tea elevate your tea ritual.
History & Origin
Production of gunpowder green tea reportedly started in the Tang Dynasty. The handcrafting method differs from other Chinese pan-fired green teas as 'gunpowder' is slightly withered, steamed, rolled, and dried.
The steaming step is unconventional for pan-fired green teas (typically you'll see only one of either steaming or pan-firing), but this additional step creates a bolder, in-your-face green tea that is ideal to wake up with.
This batch of tea was farmed organically in the hills of Central Hunan Province.

A smooth, rich, woody Pu Er made from chunky leaves.
Delicious to drink as-is, with great aging potential.
Origin & History
Pu Er is, simply put, fermented tea that comes from Yunnan Province, China.
This particular batch was grown in Simao (Pu Er), Yunnan, China, anaerobically fermented for 40 days, and harvested in May of 2022.
While you can get tea from many other regions, it should only be called Pu Er if it is made in Yunnan (just like sparkling wine can only be champagne if it is Produced in Champagne, France).
If a great-tasting tea isn’t enough on its own, for centuries the Chinese have attributed a wealth of health and digestive benefits to this tea, and recently, some celebrity North American health experts are recognizing the same.

A classic reimagined for quiet moments.
Bright, grassy, and oh-so-refreshing — this pure Sencha is a celebration of Japanese tea tradition. Steamed, rolled, and dried with care, it’s a vibrant green tea that invites stillness with every sip.
🌱 Cultivar: Yabukita — Japan’s most beloved cultivar, developed by tea pioneer Sugiyama Hikosaburo. Exceptionally versatile and perfect for loose leaf teas, it offers a beautifully balanced cup with every steep.
🌿 Origin: A thoughtful blend of two regional harvests — Shizuoka, which brings grassy, vibrant top notes, and Kagoshima, known for deeper umami and natural sweetness.
💨 Process: Asamushi or “light steaming” (25–30 seconds), a gentle approach that preserves clarity and brightness in the leaf.
🌾 Fun fact: Japanese-style green tea is steamed (not pan-fired like many Chinese teas), giving it that rich green colour and ocean-kissed flavour.
