Japanese Tea

Japanese tea represents a national approach to craft: measured, disciplined and quietly inventive. While most famous for its vivid green styles, Japan also produces refined black teas and delicate powdered matcha, each shaped by shading, steaming or careful rolling. This diversity contrasts with Chinese traditions of pan-firing or long oxidation, giving Japanese teas a distinctive clarity, umami depth and balanced lift. Drawn from small family gardens and shaped by generational skill, Japanese tea offers a curated window into a culture where precision and patience define not just a drink but an enduring ritual.
