Secret Tea Garden
The "Secret" Collection
Something really special among all the collections we proudly offer is the “Secret” Collection. This collection is made of tea leaves whose quality is exquisite but quantity is quite limited.
We usually show the information about the tea gardens or tea masters that produce tea leaves, because we value the traceability of the origins and respect for the craftsmanship, except for this collection.
The quantity of tea leaves in this collection is so limited that we should protect the identity and information about who made them and where.
This is to ensure that nobody interrupts the current procedure.The tea leaves in this collection are, of course, unavailable in the ordinary market.
This is the collection only for a true connoisseur of tea leaves who craves for a special moment.
Region
Uji - Kyoto
Uji, the region with the oldest history of Japanese tea, is located in southern Kyoto and is one of Japan's most prestigious luxury tea-producing regions.
Made with proven skills and a rich environment, the tea produced here has a firm astringency and gentle sweetness. Uji matcha, in particular, is renowned worldwide as an icon of Japan.
Tea type
Gyokuro
Gyokuro — made through a unique cultivation method known as hifuku saibai (shade growing) — has a strong sweetness, umami, and a rich aroma.
It is considered to be the most exquisite type of Japanese tea. Thus, its rich flavor is ideal for extra relaxing experiences and accommodating special guests.
