The Autumn Reserve
Welcome to The Autumn Reserve, our collection celebrating the cherished Tsubokiri (壺切) tradition. This is the ceremonial "jar opening," where Japan's finest spring-harvested tencha leaves, sealed and aged all summer, are finally unveiled. This patient maturation is an art, transforming the tea's profile from bright and sharp to profoundly smooth, rich, and complex. Any hint of astringency gives way to a deep, mellow umami. We are honored to feature these limited-edition autumn blends from masters like Ippodo, Marukyu Koyamaen, and Gion Tsujiri. Experience the deep, comforting, and fleeting taste of the season.
