Teas in Tins
Teas packed in tins. These are the items that fit our gift boxes, which hold either two tins or three.
A tin blocks light and seals well, which makes it good for storing tea. Flavor is lost to light, oxygen and moisture, so the surest thing after opening is to keep the tea in its tin. The tin is also ready to hand over as a gift as it is.
Teas in Tins

Rose Damascena ( Damascus Rose)

A rare true gyokuro from Asahina in Okabe, Fujieda, Shizuoka, made by the traditional method of shading with straw. The aroma and sweetness linger in the throat, leaving a lasting impression.

Tsuge Zairai Sencha 都祁在来煎茶
A seed-grown, naturally cultivated sencha from Tsuge in Nara, a place of deep history said by some to have been the centre of ancient Japan. Its finish is exceptionally long even among Japanese teas, with a floral aroma and a clear body.
