The shop specializes in high-quality Japanese green teas, including matcha, sencha, and gyokuro, sourced and blended with an emphasis on consistency rather than trend. Staff are accustomed to guiding both experienced drinkers and newcomers, making the selection process approachable without diluting tradition.
