BASIC
STRAIGHT
Sencha, gyokuro, fermented tea, and a wide variety of teas produced throughout Japan are carefully selected. We offer a wide range of flavors from single varieties to rare teas.
BLEND
We blend seasonal citrus fruits and herbs with green tea and Bancha (green tea) to let you experience the seasons through tea, in accordance with the 24 solar terms of the Japanese calendar. Please enjoy our seasonal teas that can only be enjoyed during the season.
ROAST
Roasted tea is roasted green tea. Like coffee, tea can be enjoyed in a variety of flavors depending on the degree of roasting and the tea leaves used. Sakurai Japanese Tea Experience is researching the possibilities of roasted tea by roasting tea leaves at our own facilities at different stages of heating and different varieties.
