OCTOBER 1, 2025 UPDATE: EFFECTIVE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, WE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO SHIP ORDERS OUTSIDE OF THE U.S.A. DUE TO NEW REGULATIONS ON FOOD IMPORTING AND TARIFFS IN INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES, IT HAS BECOME TOO DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE TO NAVIGATE THE VARIOUS NEW LICENSING AND DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS IN EACH INDIVIDUAL COUNTRY. WE ARE EXTREMELY SORRY FOR THIS DISAPPOINTING TURN OF EVENTS, AND ARE THANKFUL FOR YOUR PAST SUPPORT. HOPEFULLY, THIS SITUATION WILL BE REMEDIED IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
Summer 2025 Update:
It's been a long wait for this year's New Harvest Teas, but the majority are now in!
Shortages and price hikes brought about by the world-wide matcha boom have severely limited the availability of all Japanese teas. However, after tasting nearly 100 teas this summer, I have come up with a great new line-up of teas from appellations both familiar and unfamiliar. We still have lots of teas from Kyushu (Kagoshima, Miyazaki, Kumamoto, & Saga); as well as teas from Shizuoka (Fujieda, Honyama, & Kawane); Sayama (Saitama), Sashima (Ibaraki), Goka (Gifu), Tosa (Kochi), Nakaisamurai (Nagano); with more teas on the way from Murakami (Niigata).
