A Quiet
Ritual.
First-harvest tencha from Uji, stone-milled to order.
The Ceramics
Every piece, handmade. We collaborate with ceramic artisans in Japan, New York, and studios around the world to shape vessels designed for the matcha ritual.
Origin · Uji, Kyoto
Eight hundred years of patient cultivation.
Our tea grows on a single estate in the hills above Uji, where the same families have tended the same plants for thirty generations. Twenty-one days before harvest, the bushes are draped in woven bamboo to deepen chlorophyll and slow the production of catechins — the source of bitterness in lesser teas. What emerges is something closer to silk than to grass.
