Make tea part of your day
A mug and a small amount of tea are enough to start. For several short infusions, use a gaiwan and pour the tea out completely between rounds. Change one variable at a time to find your preferred strength.
Different ways to enjoy tea
Hot infusions, cold brewing and gently simmered tea offer different textures. Follow the guide for the tea you have chosen; prepare cold brew with clean equipment and keep it refrigerated.
Share a tasting or plan a visit
Compare two teas using the same vessel, water and infusion time, then discuss aroma, texture and finish. For store visits or tea experiences, contact the team to confirm the current arrangements.
