Japanese Loose Leaf Tea Bi-Monthly Subscription – Curated from Japan

Description

Five organic Japanese teas, delivered every two months over the course of a year — each one a different type, each from a specific region, each offering a distinct flavor experience. This subscription is designed to take you on a genuine tour of Japanese tea, one bag at a time.

What You Receive

• Shipment 1: 100g Gyokuro from Saga — Japan's most prized shade-grown tea, rich in umami and sweetness
• Shipment 2: 100g Sencha from Saga — the everyday staple of Japanese tea culture, bright and grassy
• Shipment 3: 100g Tamaryokucha from Oita — the curly-leaf tea with berry and citrus notes
• Shipment 4: 100g Koucha from Yame — Japanese black tea, smooth and malty, surprisingly different from Western black teas
• Shipment 5: 100g Hojicha from Yame — roasted green tea with a toasty, caramel-like flavor and low caffeine

All Five Are JAS Organic Certified

Every tea in this subscription is certified organic under Japan's JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards) program. This means no synthetic fertilizers, no chemical pesticides, and rigorous third-party auditing throughout the growing and processing chain.

Why Bi-Monthly

One hundred grams of loose leaf tea lasts most daily drinkers about six to eight weeks — enough time to really get to know a tea, experiment with brewing temperatures, and discover your preferences before the next variety arrives. The pacing is intentional: this isn't about novelty, it's about depth.

The Regions

Saga and Yame are both in northern Kyushu — one of Japan's most important tea-growing areas. Oita, also on Kyushu, is known for its volcanic soil and mineral-rich water. Together, these regions represent some of the finest tea production in Japan.

Perfect For

People who want to explore Japanese tea systematically, gift recipients who appreciate curated experiences, daily tea drinkers looking for consistent quality, and anyone curious about the range of flavors Japanese tea has to offer beyond matcha and basic sencha.
