Bright citrus fruits Pine Sweet honey
Grown in a dedicated black tea plot with minimal fertilizer — sparse enough sometimes mistake it for an abandoned garden. The low-input soil allows the cultivar’s natural aromatics to develop fully, producing a black tea unlike anything coming from heavily managed plots. The result is a sweet aroma with a sharp, citrus-bright finish that cuts clean like cypress. Versatile enough to pair with everything from a sweet pastry to a savory curry and full-bodied enough to hold up beautifully in milk.

Golden honey Stone fruit Subtly floral
Produced using the same technique behind Taiwan’s celebrated honey black teas, the oxidation process results in a natural honey sweetness and a delicate floral quality. This tea blend has minimal tannins, and softly aromatic qualities that happens to be made entirely from cultivars made in Saitama. The blend changes year to year, drawn from up to nine Saitama-bred cultivars, whichever were ready for black tea production that harvest, making each batch a one-season expression of what the region’s distinctive genetics can do when processed with this level of intention.

Citrus flowers Honey Sansho pepper
Made from Benihikari and blended with the dried peel of Keraji mandarin orange, a rare citrus grown only on Kikaijima Island in Japan’s far south. The Keraji isn’t bergamot. It’s something more floral, carrying notes of wildflowers and sansho leaf that layer over the black tea’s natural depth. The “K” in Earl Key is for Keraji, our producer’s answer to Earl Grey.

Light body Toasty Nutty Grassy Refreshing
Organic sencha blended with roasted brown rice from Kyushu. The sencha brings a clean, grassy freshness; the rice brings a nuttiness, and an unmistakable toasted grain aroma that makes genmaicha feel less like a tea and more like comfort in a cup. Lighter and cleaner than the Genmaimatcha, with the green tea character more present and the overall cup more refreshing. The kind of tea that works alongside a meal as easily as it does on its own. Grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers in Yabe’s mountain air, which means the sencha base is cleaner and brighter than most genmaicha you’ll find at this price point.

Stone fruit Honey Floral
Made from the Koshun cultivar, known for its natural floral and fruity aromatics, and grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers at 600 meters above sea level in the mountains of Yabe. The altitude slows growth, concentrates flavor, and keeps pests at bay naturally, allowing the tea to develop at its own pace. Medium oxidation brings out a mellow sweetness and gentle umami, layered with fruity note.

Richer body Light nuttiness Mild sweetness

The matcha adds a mellow richness that rounds out the roasted grain notes, making it approachable for anyone from children to elderly drinkers.

Toasty Caramelized sweetness Aromatic
This hojicha is made from the stems of tencha, the same carefully shaded leaf that becomes matcha, then roasted until it opens into something entirely different. The roasting process results in a high, toasty aroma reminiscent of barley tea, without any bitterness. The flavor is intentionally light, clean and thirst-quenching rather than rich and heavy. It can be paired alongside a meal, after grilled meats, paired with sweets, or chilled and poured over ice in summer.
