CONCEPT

T e a   i s   t h e   e l i x i r   o f   h e a l t h

In the past, tea, made from the leaves of natural trees, was a source of health and longevity as a medicine.
Tea, once drunk as a medicine, is now used as a source of comfort and healing, and as a way to bring people together.

Sakurai Japanese Tea Experience will continue to research and create new possibilities for the enjoyment of tea, enhancing the value of Japanese tea by skillfully incorporating the four seasons of Japan and using blending and roasting as the foundation.
