Shincha (New Harvest Tea) Season has arrived! 2026 new harvest teas are slowly trickling in. As of June 25th, we've received shincha from Shizuoka, Saitama, Niigata, Gifu and Kochi Prefectures. New teas from Nagano, Kyoto, Wakayama, Shiga, and around Kyushu are coming soon. Stay tuned!

OCTOBER 1, 2025 UPDATE: Effective until further notice, we are temporarily no longer able to ship orders outside of the U.S.A. (Canadian exceptions, please contact me directly via email). Due to new regulations on food importing and tariffs in a growing number of countries, it has become too difficult and expensive to navigate the various new licensing and documentation requirements in each individual county. We are extremely sorry for this disappointing turn of events, and are thankful for the past support of our international tea friends. Hopefully, this situation will be remedied in the near future.

Free shipping

Leaf Tea Orders of over $100 (U.S.) will receive a full refund of the shipping charges for destinations within the U.S. International orders will receive a refund of the U.S. equivalent shipping charges. Only valid on leaf teas (not matcha, sorry), and not valid for tea ware orders.
