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.

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.
