Teas for Everyday Drinking
What an everyday tea has to do is stay interesting and hold its flavor even when you brew it roughly. The teas here meet both conditions.
A tea with a striking flavor makes an impression, and it can start to feel heavy if you drink it every day. What you see here has a light finish and resists turning astringent when the water temperature or the steeping time drifts. Most of them give many infusions.
Teas for Everyday Drinking
High Mountain White Tea 高山白茶
From a semi-wild garden at around 2,300m. Leaves bitten by the leafhoppers that thrive there develop a sweet honey aroma as the tea ages. A clear, gentle body.
From ¥2,200 (50g)
Tang Jia Raw Pu-erh Tea 2022 唐家古樹生茶 2022 餅茶
The long finish that only naturally grown old trees at 2,000m can give, with ideal ageing bringing a sweet aroma of dried fruit and malt syrup.
From ¥1,900 (50g)
MEdium Fired Tie Guan Yin 鉄観音 中焙火
An oolong made from the Anxi Tie Guan Yin cultivar, roasted slowly at a medium temperature. The floral aroma remains while a sweet dried-fruit note is drawn out. Excellent with food.
From ¥1,600 (30g)
Hou Di Raw Pu-erh Tea 2025 Loose 火地古樹生茶 2025 散茶
Within the gentle aroma that loose leaf gives, a faint citrus note suggesting pomelo. The clarity and exceptionally long finish come from naturally grown old trees at high altitude.
From ¥1,900 (50g)
