Thank you for an unforgettable first month🌱

We are so grateful to everyone who has visited us since our opening. We have truly enjoyed sharing the world of Japanese tea with you.

We have an important update regarding our paid Matcha Tasting. Due to the high demand during our trial period, our current stock of matcha allocated for tasting is temporarily sold out.

To ensure we can provide the best possible experience, we have decided to pause our paid Matcha Tasting service until the end of August. We are currently working on updating our tasting content and booking process, and we look forward to welcoming you back with an improved experience in September!

In the meantime, you can still enjoy tasting our other Japanese teas—including Sencha, Hojicha, Genmaicha, and Black Tea—in store. We would love to see you there!
