Organic Hojicha
Some teas are energizing.
Others feel like a warm blanket on a cool evening.
Organic Hojicha belongs firmly to the second category.
Roasted, comforting, and naturally sweet, this traditional Japanese green tea offers a completely different experience from the bright, grassy character often associated with green tea. Gentle roasting transforms the leaves, creating a smooth and mellow cup with notes of warm wood, toasted grain, and soft caramel sweetness.
The result is a tea that feels instantly familiar.
Comforting without being heavy.
Rich without being overwhelming.
Whether enjoyed after dinner, during a quiet afternoon, or shared with friends on a rainy day, Hojicha has a way of making ordinary moments feel a little more peaceful.
Origin
This tea comes from Kirishima, Kagoshima, one of Japan's most respected tea-growing regions, located on the southern island of Kyushu.
Kirishima is known for its volcanic soils, mountain mist, and ideal growing conditions, which produce teas with exceptional softness and depth of flavor.
This particular batch is crafted from late-harvest Yabukita cultivar tea leaves, Japan's most celebrated tea variety. Harvesting later in the season allows the leaves to develop greater body and sweetness, creating an ideal foundation for roasting.
The result is a tea that reflects both the richness of its landscape and the craftsmanship of Japanese tea tradition.
How It Is Made
Unlike most Japanese green teas, which are celebrated for their fresh vegetal character, Hojicha undergoes a careful roasting process that completely transforms its flavour profile.
The late-harvest Yabukita leaves are gently roasted at approximately 200°F (93°C), developing warm caramelized notes while significantly reducing astringency.
This roasting process softens the tea's edges, creating a smoother, rounder cup with remarkable sweetness and almost no bitterness.
It also naturally lowers the tea's caffeine content, making Hojicha a popular choice throughout the day and into the evening.
The transformation is remarkable.
What begins as green tea becomes something altogether more comforting.
Taste Profile

Warm wood, toasted grain, roasted nuts, and soft caramel sweetness.

Organic Cream of Earl Grey
A timeless classic, softened with creamy elegance.

The tea is then thoughtfully blended in Richmond, BC, combining fragrant bergamot and smooth vanilla notes to create a richer, more comforting Earl Grey experience.
Bergamot brings the signature citrus brightness and floral elegance that defines classic Earl Grey, while creamy vanilla softens the finish and adds warmth to every sip.
Blending locally allows greater control over freshness, consistency, and flavour balance—creating a tea that feels both classic and beautifully refined.
The result is a luxurious black tea blend that feels familiar, elegant, and indulgent.
How It Is Made

Creamy vanilla notes are then layered into the blend, adding warmth, softness, and a smooth finish that rounds out the sharper citrus edges of bergamot.

Organic Joongjak Green Tea
Some places seem untouched by time.
The mist-covered valleys of Hadong, Korea, are among them.
Organic Joongjak captures the spirit of this remarkable tea-growing region in a cup that feels calm, balanced, and beautifully connected to nature. Harvested after May 5th, during Korea’s traditional Joongjak harvest season, this tea offers a deeper, more rounded character than the earliest spring pickings while preserving the freshness and elegance Korean green tea is known for.
The flavour is gentle yet expressive—sweet vegetal notes reminiscent of fresh-cut grass and spring meadows, softened by hints of wildflowers and a subtle nuttiness that lingers long after the final sip.
It is a tea that encourages stillness.
A tea for quiet mornings, thoughtful afternoons, and moments when the world feels a little too fast.
Origin
This tea comes from Hadong, South Korea, one of the country's most celebrated tea-growing regions and home to a tea tradition that stretches back more than a thousand years.
Nestled among mountains, rivers, and ancient forests, Hadong offers ideal conditions for cultivating tea with exceptional purity and balance. The region’s fertile soil, abundant rainfall, and cool mountain air help produce teas that are both vibrant and refined.
Organic Joongjak is harvested during the third traditional Korean tea harvest, which takes place after Ipha (May 5th).
This later spring harvest allows the leaves additional time to mature, creating a tea with greater body, softer sweetness, and a more rounded flavour profile.
Understanding Korean Tea Harvests
Korean green tea is traditionally categorized by harvest period:
Woojeon (우전)
The earliest and most prized harvest, picked before Gok-u (around April 20).
Sejak (세작)
The second harvest, picked between Gok-u and Ipha (May 5).
Joongjak (중작)
The third harvest, picked after Ipha (May 5).
Joongjak teas are appreciated for their balance—offering freshness and complexity while developing greater depth and sweetness than earlier harvests.
How It Is Made
After harvest, the leaves are carefully processed using traditional Korean green tea methods designed to preserve freshness, colour, and natural aroma.
The leaves are gently heated to prevent oxidation, locking in their vibrant green character while maintaining softness and clarity in the cup.
This careful craftsmanship allows the tea to retain its delicate balance between vegetal freshness, floral elegance, and subtle nutty warmth.
The result is a tea that feels effortless and harmonious.
Nothing dominates.
Everything works together.

Organic Premium Gunpowder Green Tea (Temple of Heaven)
Organic Premium Gunpowder Green Tea, also known as Temple of Heaven Gunpowder, is a bold and invigorating Chinese green tea celebrated for its tightly rolled leaves, rich flavour, and smooth, energizing finish.
Known traditionally as Zhu Cha (珠茶) or “Pearl Tea,” this premium loose-leaf green tea is crafted by rolling each leaf into small pearl-like pellets that slowly unfurl during steeping. The result is a stronger, fuller-bodied cup with deep vegetal character, subtle smokiness, and a clean, refreshing finish.
This is a tea chosen for focus, energy, and everyday strength—a classic green tea with presence and purpose.
Origin
This premium organic Gunpowder tea is grown in Central Hunan Province, China, where mountainous tea gardens, mineral-rich soil, and cool seasonal conditions help produce green teas with exceptional body and depth.
Gunpowder tea has a long history dating back to the Tang Dynasty and remains one of China’s most recognized export teas. The “Temple of Heaven” grade represents a higher quality selection, known for tighter leaf rolling, smoother flavour, and better leaf integrity.
The combination of traditional craftsmanship and carefully cultivated organic tea gardens creates a tea that feels both classic and refined.
How It Is Made
Gunpowder tea is unique among Chinese green teas because of its distinctive rolling process.
After harvesting, the tea leaves are lightly withered, gently heated to prevent oxidation, and then carefully rolled into tight, compact pellets resembling small pearls.
This rolling process helps preserve freshness, protect the leaves during transport, and concentrate the flavour within each leaf.
Once dried, the tightly rolled pearls lock in aroma and strength. During brewing, they slowly open and release their full flavour—creating a tea that feels stronger, deeper, and longer-lasting than many traditional green teas.
This careful shaping is what gives Gunpowder tea both its name and its unmistakable character.
Taste Profile

Fresh green tea with deep vegetal notes, light toasted warmth, and subtle earthy depth.
Flavour

The final blend is thoughtfully crafted in Richmond, BC, ensuring freshness, consistency, and the ideal balance between bold Assam richness and bright citrus elegance.
Please note: the bergamot oil used in this tea comes from a different artisan than the one used in our Organic Earl Grey, offering its own distinct aromatic character and flavour profile.
How It Is Made
The Assam tea leaves are carefully harvested and fully oxidized, developing their deep amber colour, full body, and rich malty flavour.
Once dried, the tea is blended with a standard concentration of cold-pressed Calabrian bergamot essential oil, allowing the citrus aroma to naturally infuse into the leaves without overpowering the tea’s bold black tea foundation.
This careful balance creates an Earl Grey that feels bright and lively while maintaining the depth and structure of premium Assam.

The tea garden sits at an altitude of more than 1200 metres above sea level, where cooler temperatures, mountain mist, and mineral-rich soil create ideal conditions for slow leaf growth and concentrated flavour development.

Organic Chao Qing Pan-Fired Green Tea
Not every great tea is reserved for special occasions.
Some are made to be enjoyed every day.
Organic Chao Qing is a celebration of that tradition—a straightforward, honest green tea that has earned its place in teacups across China for generations. Bold, refreshing, and naturally satisfying, it delivers the kind of dependable flavour that turns a daily habit into a ritual.

A tea designed not to impress with extravagance, but to earn its place in your daily routine.
Origin & History
The name Chao Qing (炒青) means "pan-fired green tea" and refers to one of the oldest and most widely used methods of producing green tea in China.
For centuries, pan-firing has been used to halt oxidation, preserving the tea's vibrant character while developing the warm, nutty undertones that distinguish Chinese green teas from their steamed counterparts.
This particular batch is organically grown in the rolling hills of Central Hunan Province, where fertile soil, seasonal rainfall, and a favorable climate create ideal conditions for producing balanced, flavourful tea.
It is processed in the famous Chun Mee style, a traditional green tea style admired for its distinctive leaf shape, bright flavour, and refreshing finish.
Across Asia, teas like this are not reserved for ceremony.
They are part of everyday life.
Simple. Reliable. Timeless.
How It Is Made
After harvest, the fresh tea leaves are carefully pan-fired to prevent oxidation and preserve their natural colour and flavour.
This traditional technique gives Chao Qing its signature character—a lively green tea with gentle roasted undertones and a pleasantly structured finish.
The Chun Mee processing style carefully shapes the leaves into their characteristic curved appearance while maintaining freshness and aromatic complexity.

Organic Kirishima Hojicha Kukicha is that kind of tea.
Warm, toasty, and deeply comforting, this traditional Japanese roasted twig tea carries the quiet character of the mist-covered mountains of Kirishima in every cup. Crafted not from leaves, but from tender young tea twigs, it offers a softer, gentler expression of roasted green tea—smooth, calming, and beautifully grounding.
Each sip unfolds with notes of roasted barley, warm wood, and subtle brown sugar sweetness, creating a tea that feels less like stimulation and more like stillness.
It is the kind of tea for slow evenings, stormy nights, and moments when comfort matters most.
Origin
This tea is organically grown and handcrafted on the island of Kyushu, Japan, in the volcanic region of Kirishima—an area celebrated for its pristine mountain air, rich soil, and generations of tea craftsmanship.
The tea grows among cedar forests on land nourished by the volcanic soils of Sakurajima, one of Japan’s most active volcanoes. These mineral-rich soils contribute depth, softness, and remarkable balance to the tea.
Unlike traditional green teas made primarily from leaves, Kukicha is crafted using the tender stems and twigs of the tea plant. In this case, those twigs are gently roasted to create Hojicha Kukicha—a tea prized for its warmth, smoothness, and naturally low caffeine content.
Among the many teas of Japan, this remains one of the gentlest and most comforting.
How It Is Made
Kukicha begins with carefully selected young stems and twigs separated during tea production.
Rather than being discarded, these tender pieces are celebrated for their soft sweetness and smooth character.
For Hojicha Kukicha, the twigs are slowly roasted, transforming the tea completely. The roasting process lowers bitterness, softens grassy notes, and creates the warm toasted flavour Hojicha is known for.
As the tea roasts, it develops notes of roasted grain, warm cedar, and subtle caramel-like sweetness.
The result is a tea that feels comforting from the very first sip—smooth, mellow, and remarkably easy to drink.
Because the roasting naturally lowers caffeine content, it can be enjoyed throughout the day without overwhelming the senses.

Organic Meiji Sunset
There are teas that comfort.
And some teas carry history within them.
Organic Meiji Sunset belongs to the second kind.
Delicate yet powerful, this rare Japanese black tea offers a remarkable balance of elegance and intensity—bright dark fruit notes, refined tannins, and a smooth, rounded body that feels both structured and graceful.
It is the kind of tea that changes slowly as you drink it.
At first, there is brightness. Then warmth. Then depth.
Nothing feels excessive. Everything feels intentional.
This is a tea made for quiet luxury—slow breakfasts, thoughtful afternoons, and the soft golden hour before evening arrives.
A tea that feels timeless without trying to imitate the past.
Origin & History
Organic Meiji Sunset comes from Tanegashima, one of the beautiful Ōsumi Islands in southern Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
Shaped by volcanic soil, abundant rainfall, and ocean air, Tanegashima creates tea with remarkable clarity, balance, and softness. The island’s natural environment—lush, humid, and alive with birdsong—gives the tea a character that feels both vibrant and deeply calm.
This tea also carries a forgotten piece of Japanese tea history.
During the Meiji and Taishō eras, Japan produced black teas of exceptional quality for export to the Western world. But as global trade shifted and British colonial tea production expanded across India and Sri Lanka, Japanese black tea slowly faded from international attention.
Today, only a small portion of Japanese tea is still crafted in a black tea style.
That rarity is part of what makes this tea special.
Organic Meiji Sunset is made using Kuritawase, a cultivar closely associated with Tanegashima and admired for producing beautifully expressive teas—both green and black.
It is a tea rooted in tradition, yet quietly unlike anything else.
How It Is Made
Unlike most Japanese teas, which are steamed and preserved as green tea, Organic Meiji Sunset is carefully oxidized to create a refined black tea expression.
After harvest, the leaves are gently withered and rolled to encourage oxidation while preserving softness and clarity in the cup.
This careful process develops the tea’s warm amber liquor, smooth body, and signature dark fruit character while maintaining the clean structure and balance for which Japanese teas are known.
The result is a black tea with elegance rather than heaviness—layered, bright, and remarkably polished.
It does not need milk or citrus.
It stands beautifully on its own.
Taste Profile

Organic Sencha Ethereal Garden
Organic Sencha Ethereal Garden is a refreshing and calming blend that brings together the vibrant character of Japanese Sencha, cooling peppermint, and soothing lavender. Smooth, aromatic, and naturally uplifting, this blend is crafted for moments of calm, clarity, and everyday balance.
Whether enjoyed as a gentle morning reset or a peaceful evening wind-down, this tea offers a beautifully balanced cup that feels both refreshing and comforting.
Origin
This blend begins with premium Japanese Sencha, one of Japan’s most beloved green teas, known for its fresh grassy character, smooth body, and naturally vibrant green infusion.
Sencha is carefully paired with cooling peppermint and delicate lavender blossoms, creating a blend that feels both invigorating and relaxing.
The result is a tea that captures freshness, floral softness, and calm in every sip.
How It Is Made
Japanese Sencha is traditionally steamed shortly after harvest to preserve its bright green colour, fresh vegetal flavour, and smooth sweetness. This steaming process helps protect the tea’s natural freshness while creating the signature clean, grassy taste that Sencha is known for.
The Sencha is then blended with peppermint leaves, which add a crisp and cooling lift, and lavender blossoms, which bring soft floral notes and a gentle sense of relaxation.
This thoughtful balance creates a tea that feels refreshing without being overpowering—light, elegant, and naturally soothing.
Unlike heavily flavoured blends, Organic Sencha Ethereal Garden focuses on harmony, allowing each ingredient to complement the others beautifully.

Organic Hojicha Powder
Some flavours feel familiar from the very first sip.
Warm, roasted, and quietly comforting, Organic Hojicha Powder brings together the richness of traditional Japanese tea with the versatility of a modern pantry staple. Finely milled from carefully roasted green tea leaves, it offers a smooth, earthy character balanced by gentle notes of toasted grain, caramel, and subtle sweetness.
Unlike brighter green tea powders, Hojicha Powder embraces warmth. The roasting process transforms the tea into something mellow and inviting, creating a flavour that feels equally at home in a morning latte, an afternoon treat, or your favourite baked recipe.
Whether whisked into a creamy latte or folded into cakes, cookies, and desserts, this tea brings depth, comfort, and unmistakable character to every creation.
Origin
This Organic Hojicha Powder is sourced from Harunocho, Isagawa, Shizuoka, Japan, a region renowned for producing some of the country's finest teas.
Nestled among rolling hills and lush tea fields, Shizuoka has long been considered the heart of Japanese tea cultivation. The region's clean mountain air, abundant rainfall, and rich growing conditions create teas celebrated for their purity, balance, and flavour.
After harvest, the leaves are carefully roasted and stone-milled into a fine powder, preserving the tea's natural sweetness and aromatic complexity while making it remarkably versatile.
The result is a tea that reflects the quiet craftsmanship and attention to detail that define Japanese tea culture.
How It Is Made
Organic Hojicha Powder begins as carefully selected green tea leaves that are gently roasted.
As the leaves roast, grassy notes soften and transform into warm flavours reminiscent of toasted grain, caramel, and roasted nuts. The roasting also naturally lowers the caffeine content, creating a tea that can be enjoyed throughout the day.
Once roasted, the leaves are finely milled into a silky powder that dissolves easily into liquids and blends beautifully into recipes.
This process allows you to enjoy the entire tea leaf while unlocking new culinary possibilities far beyond the teacup.
