Hello everyone, this is Keko from our online team.
Today, I’d like to share a little about a special place we have at our main store—the “tasting room” (審査場). This is where our tea experts carefully evaluate each type of tea to ensure the highest quality before it reaches you. Here, they examine everything: the appearance of the leaves, the aroma, the taste, and even the color of the tea as it unfurls in hot water. It’s a meticulous process to bring out the fullest expression in every cup.
In a way, savoring Japanese tea is like stepping into this tasting room(審査場) ourselves. When we pause from the noise of daily life and let our senses focus on the fragrance and taste of the tea, we get a similar feeling of peace and clarity. Every sip of carefully selected tea feels like a connection to the craftsmanship and dedication of those who prepare it.
For me, Japanese tea is something I cherish—a moment to unwind and recenter myself. I love experimenting with different teas and brewing styles depending on my mood or the time of day. Each cup becomes a unique experience, a small but meaningful part of my daily life.
When you brew Japanese tea at home, try thinking about the journey each leaf has taken. Imagine how it’s been carefully chosen and crafted, and how it’s now being poured into your cup. It might make that moment feel even more special, adding another layer to the depth and beauty of your tea.
Wishing you a wonderful tea time today.
