畑 · The farm
We shook hands with our farmers.
We travelled to Uji — the historic heart of Japanese tea — and sat with the family who grow our leaf. No brokers, no blending houses, no anonymous lots. We chose the harvest ourselves, from a single estate that has grown shade-leaf for generations.
- — Direct-sourced — one estate, a relationship, not a transaction.
- — Shade-grown — three weeks under cover concentrates L-theanine and umami.
- — Hand-picked — only the first flush, the youngest spring leaves.
