Cultivated in Kagoshima's lush, subtropical climate with rich volcanic soils, this tea is made from the Saemidori cultivar. The bushes are shaded with bamboo mats for up to four weeks before harvest, enhancing chlorophyll and reducing astringency. The result is a sweet taste from young, hand-picked leaves. Steeps a bright green cup with vegetal notes, rich umami, and a hint of sweet corn.

Luxury Eco Tea Bags

Luxury Eco Tea Bags

Our tea bags are made from a biodegradable plant based material called Soilon. We don’t use dirty plastic!
Our tea bags are totally compostable but please allow a bit more time for your tea bags to break down, they do take just a little longer to decompose than everyday composable items. Our Soilon bags have met all compostability standards in Japan, Europe and North America but our manufacturers suggest commercial composting to reduce this extended time to breakdown.

If you don't have the time to wait, why not switch to trying our loose leaf teas that start to break immediately? We have a lot more blends to choose from and it is so easy to use with a specially designed infuser.

Tea bags come both in Boutique Jars and 40 or 80 refill pouches.
