Hello, Bluesky! We're a loose leaf tea business based in Santa Fe, New Mexico (but we ship all over!)

Four different types of Earl Grey teas.

It’s always a great feeling to get a really good 5-star review. Thank you Adrienne!

Five Star Review
I drink it every day
This Irish Breakfast is how I start my day, every day. I love it so much that I even bring it with me when I travel because I don't want to risk a crappy cup of tea to start my day when I'm away from home. It's that good!
I've had a subscription for a couple years so l never run out and it is easy to manage if I need to adjust shipping dates.
Drinking good tea and supporting a great independent company at the same time!

We recommend preparing Kabusecha with water that has reached a temperature of about 140 degrees—just lightly steaming.

Our Kabusecha is grown in Kagoshima Prefecture, located in southern Japan. Thanks to its oceanic character, we’ve heard it described as “for those who long for the sea”!

Because of this shading process, Kabusecha also tends to be higher in caffeine and l-theanine than other types of green tea.

Traditionally, Kabusecha is prepared with a higher ratio of tea leaves to water. Here, we’re using about three tablespoons for our 24 oz. pot.

Kabusecha, which means “shaded tea” in Japanese, is a high-end green tea similar in character to Gyokuro.

Kabusecha tea plants are shaded for two weeks prior to harvest, which contributes to their rich umami flavor and lingering sweetness.

It’s Earth Day. What will you do differently today?
