As a reminder, our usual tea packing days are Saturday and Sunday, with parcels normally shipped on Mondays.

Shipping schedule:
🌿 13th–23rd September – Orders can still be placed as usual
📦 26th & 27th September – Tea packing resumes
🚚 Monday 28th September onwards – Shipping resumes

There may be a little catching up to do when I return, so please bear with me while I work through your lovely orders.

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support! 💚

Do you know what hojicha is? 🍵

During our trip to Uji, Japan, we discovered exactly how this roasted Japanese green tea is made — slowly roasting, sifting, and watching the leaves transform into something warm, nutty, and deeply aromatic.

Making our own gave us a whole new appreciation for every cup… and of course, we had to take some home.

Learning what really makes matcha so special 🍵
From slowly grinding tencha into matcha with a traditional stone mill to whisking our own bowl, this workshop gave us a whole new appreciation for the craftsmanship behind every cup.
And yes... the matcha ice cream tasted even better with the matcha we’d ground ourselves.
