Golden Hojicha Tea (organic) | ほうじ茶

Surrounding wildflowers create an enchanted frame for viewing the passing clouds, with a leafy patch of clover in place of a pillow. Tall spindles of poppies and anemones steady themselves against the summer breeze that has been cooled by the shade of towering evergreens and the sparkling, ebullient brook that runs alongside the house. Tumbling vine leaves spill from the gables to the stone steps, enfolding the patio’s dark supporting beams that have lasted generations. Less can be said for the paper screens which, left to rest halfway, slide much less smoothly. A bee has seized the opportunity to explore the tearoom, moving from the marigolds to the pot of organic hojicha tea. Evidently, the tea’s nectar is tantamount to the offerings of the chestnut blossoms outside. Perhaps it’s worth rising from the flowerbed to share a cup of tea in the company of such a tiny but discerning palate.

Tea is a ritual of quiet attention. Once welcomed into a routine, it provides dependable moments of joyous tranquility via the senses:

Sight: the golden, amber hues of a steeped brew.
Olfactory: the earthy or floral scent of unfurling steam.
Touch: the weight and texture of a perfectly crafted cup.
And of course – the taste.

Each enchanting sensory cue to draws the tea drinker deeper into the present moment. And so, this is why we define tea as sanctuary.

In a world of distractions and glorified hustle, the deliberate act of brewing tea is nothing short of gently radical. Adjusting water temperatures, studying the copper threads as they infuse into the pot, and treasuring the first sip are all small but meaningful acts of rebellion. And like any revolution, at its core is principled intention. Though few rebellions announce themselves in something as delightful as a cup of tea, therein lies its subversive audacity. For this reason, our blends and their accompanying stories are meticulously crafted to enhance tea’s transportive powers and thoroughly envelop the drinker. In essence, tea is neither trend nor commodity. It is a timeless practice with a home in every culture. It is refined over centuries and waits to be discovered – telling its story time, and time again.
