The Art and Science of Japanese Teas

The Japanese have spent centuries perfecting their tea cultivation methods. From enhancing nutrients and flavor by painstakingly shading every bush to crafting multiple styles of green tea so that no stem or leaf goes to waste, the best Japanese teas intricately blend art and science. Our collection features the most popular teas from Japan and a few Rishi exclusives. Start your day with a meditative cup of ceremonial grade matcha, followed by a revitalizing afternoon sip of first flush Sencha and wind down with a soothing nightcap of toasty houjicha. 

How to Use Teas From Japan

A formal matcha tea ceremony is a thing of contemplative beauty, but it doesn’t have to be intimidating or complicated. Matcha is easy to make. Rishi Tea offers a selection of handcrafted Japanese matcha bowls, bamboo whisks and scoops for everyday enjoyment. Japanese green teas are best when made with water just under boiling hot. They also make refreshing iced teas. Try whipping houjicha powder into your favorite plant-based milk for a malty delight.

Exceptional Teas from Off the Beaten Path

Our dedicated team of intrepid buyers is always on the hunt for true passion and craftsmanship. The search for exceptional artistic teas often leads us down roads less traveled and into remote regions where tea is grown on small parcels of land, cared for by families instead of conglomerates and still hand-picked and processed. Every one of our teas tells the story of a journey made and friendships formed over a shared love for tea.
