Hazuki · First harvest 2026
The heart of every ritual.
Stone-milled from shade-grown first-harvest tencha. Family-run farms, Uji. Twenty-one days of bamboo shade, milled slow enough the leaf never heats above thirty degrees. Drink it the morning it arrives.

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 small family-run farms in the hills above Uji, where the same families have tended the same plants for 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.
