A quiet moment captured in a cup.

A Tea Inspired by the “Shikunshi”

The name Shikunshi (四君子) refers to the “Four Gentlemen” of East Asian art — plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.
These plants symbolize elegance, resilience, and quiet strength.

The Shikunshi tea series reflects these values, inviting you to enjoy a moment of calm reflection through tea.

What is Tencha?

This tea is blended with Tencha, a rare Japanese green tea known for its delicate fragrance and rich umami.

Tencha is specially cultivated to produce Matcha. Before harvest, the tea plants are shaded from sunlight for about 20 days, which enhances their sweetness and deep umami flavor.

After harvesting, the leaves are steamed and carefully dried without the rolling process typical of other green teas. The stems and veins are then removed, leaving only the soft parts of the leaf called Tencha.

These leaves are traditionally stone-ground into fine powder to make Matcha, but when brewed as leaf tea, Tencha offers a uniquely fragrant and elegant flavor experience.
