The owner, Ms. Baba, had worked at a specialized Chinese tea shop for over a decade. The tea she meticulously brews with her carefully chosen teaware and graceful gestures is truly exceptional.

Their Japanese tea comes from producers dedicated to tea cultivation in Nara and Kumamoto. You can enjoy a range of tea that showcase the unique characteristics of the producers, such as pesticide-free pan-fired green tea, naturally cultivated black tea, and hojicha (roasted green tea).
The tea is also available for purchase at the shop, offering a diverse lineup from premium tea leaves to those suitable for everyday use. The availability of small-sized products is a plus. The packaging of the teas features refined designs, making them an excellent choice for gifts.
