This elegant tea set showcases three carefully selected Japanese teas, each enveloped in packaging inspired by the timeless artistry of traditional ukiyo-e prints.
From the verdant fields of Shizuoka prefecture comes a silky-smooth ryokucha, exhibiting a fresh, grassy brightness with a delicate umami undertone. Complementing this is a genmaicha infused with vibrant matcha, where the toasted, nutty aroma of roasted brown rice harmonizes beautifully with the rich vegetal character. Completing the trio is a mellow hojicha, whose slow-roasted leaves produce a warm, soothing cup with subtle caramel and smoky notes.
Together, these teas offer a refined journey through the nuanced layers of Japanese tea craftsmanship, perfect for those who appreciate quiet complexity and balance.
