Matcha 抹茶
30g / Ceremonial Grade
Japan's most awarded tea region.
Finally in America.
日本一の茶処、八女から。
Not Uji. Not Kagoshima. Yame — the region Japan already ranks number one, and the one America hasn't met yet.
The Ritual 習慣
Trade the crash for
calm, clear focus.
The reason a generation is putting down coffee. Green tea carries L-theanine — the amino acid behind steady, unshaken focus. No jitters, no crash. Just a quiet lift and a moment that's yours.
Calm Focus
穏やかな集中
L-theanine paired with tea's gentle caffeine, for a smooth and sustained kind of attention.
Clean Caffeine
コーヒーの、その先へ
The coffee alternative more and more people reach for — energy without the afternoon drop-off.
Daily Ritual
日常の中の静けさ
Whisk, steep, breathe. A few unhurried minutes that turn a drink into a practice.
Origin 産地
From Yame, Fukuoka —
the region Japan
already knows.
In Japan, the finest tea doesn't only come from Uji or Kagoshima. It comes from Yame — a small region in Fukuoka, spoken of among tea people as one of the country's very best.
America has met Japanese tea through a handful of names. Yame isn't yet one of them — and that's exactly the point. We bring a region Japan reveres directly to your cup, with nothing lost in translation.

Loved matcha?
Meet gyokuro.
If matcha was the introduction, gyokuro is the destination. Shaded before harvest and steeped low and slow, it pours a cup so rich and savory it rewrites what green tea can taste like. And Yame grows more than half of Japan's.
Gyokuro — Coming Soon
01
Cool the water
Let it drop to around 50–60°C. Gyokuro is delicate — boiling water hides its best notes.
02
Use a little more leaf
A generous spoonful in a small pot. This is a concentrated, contemplative cup.
03
Wait, then savor
Steep patiently for a couple of minutes and pour the last drop. Sweet, full, unforgettable.
Single Origin 単一産地
Nothing hidden.
Nothing but Yame.
As demand outruns supply, the market has filled with tea of unclear origin. We go the other way: one region, named on every tin, with a tradition you can trace.
