Japanese Green Tea Co. Returns to Local Events: SISU/Snow Peak and Holiday Market Highlights

This starter gift set brings together premium ceremonial Japanese matcha and the Elementi electric matcha whisk, giving you everything you need to prepare smooth, authentic matcha at home. The matcha is 100% made in Japan, produced from carefully shaded green tea leaves that are stone-ground into a vibrant, fine powder prized for its rich umami, natural caffeine, and amino acid content.

Paired with the matcha is the Elementi electric whisk, designed for quick and effortless preparation. Its powerful motor creates a smooth, frothy cup in seconds, while the ergonomic, soft-touch grip ensures comfortable handling. This item ships within the USA only (excluding HI and AK).

This beautifully curated matcha set brings together our premium ceremonial matcha and the refined craftsmanship of Hario, Japan’s renowned glassware maker. The double-walled Hario chawan offers a modern, heat-resistant design that enhances both comfort and presentation, while the bamboo chasen, chashaku, and stainless steel sifter ensure a smooth, frothy, and authentic matcha every time. Thoughtfully assembled to elevate your daily ritual, this collaboration set delivers the perfect balance of tradition, quality, and contemporary Japanese design.

This tea set features three exceptional Japanese green teas, each crafted with care and traditional techniques. Issaku Reserve, a Global Tea Champion winner in 2017 and 2019, is a rare masterpiece created by Farm Master Mr. Arahata at Arahataen Green Tea Farm. Handpicked once a year from the first flush and processed with advanced methods, Issaku represents the highest-grade deep-steamed green tea, available only in limited quantities even in Japan.

The set also includes Gyokuro, a premium shaded green tea known for its rich, sweet flavor and deep mossy green color. Grown under special mats for 20 days to increase caffeine and amino acid levels, Gyokuro offers a layered, smooth taste unlike any other. Completing the collection is Nozomi, a fine Kabuse-cha, or "Covered Green Tea," carefully grown under nets to gently shade the leaves just before new sprouts emerge, resulting in a soft, rich, and refined flavor profile.

Gyokuro, also known as "jade dew" or "jewel dew tea," is a premium Japanese green tea shaded from the sun for 20 days using specially made mats, a method that boosts caffeine levels and strengthens amino acids to create a sweeter, richer flavor. This extended shading process results in dark, mossy green leaves with an unmistakable aroma and a complex taste that is layered yet balanced. Cultivated by the Chagusaba method in nutrient-rich sugarcane soil and made from the Yabukita cultivar, this loose-leaf authentic Gyokuro is offered in a high-quality, air-tight paper tube canister (chyazutsu) to preserve its exceptional freshness and flavor. Each 3.5 oz (100g) full-size package steeps 30–40 cups, and a convenient single-serve sample is also available.

Our roasted green tea, known as hojicha (ほうじ茶), is crafted from freshly harvested premium green tea carefully roasted in porcelain over charcoal to maximize flavor while retaining more catechins than typical hojicha on the market. With lower caffeine and a smoother, less bitter taste compared to steamed green tea, it is an ideal choice for evening relaxation and is gentle enough for kids and pregnant women. Cultivated using the Chagusaba method in nutrient-rich sugarcane soil, this loose-leaf authentic Japanese roasted green tea, made from the Yabukita cultivar, also pairs beautifully with oily foods. Each eco-friendly resealable package contains 3.5 oz (100g) of tea, enough to steep 30–40 comforting cups.
