Best moment of the day: For Breakfast
Japanese tea is traditionally offered with Japanese sweets. They also pair very well with all sorts of meals, either for breakfast, lunch, breaks, or even dinner (for the lower-caffeine tea).
During his years of serving tea to his dear customers, Mohei's knowledge of the flavors and characteristics of his teas allows him to share the wonders of an exceptional green tea served with the right food. When paired well, Japanese tea can unlock further benefits such as better digestion, better diet, or enhanced sensation of satiety.

Preparation Guide
Slide through the following step-by-step guideline, and brew the perfect cup of tea at home.
Leaves
Measure with Care
For the perfect brew, use 4g (1 Tbsp) of Sencha.
This amount allows you to enjoy the tea’s evolving flavors through up to 3 infusions, each offering new notes with every pour.
Temperature
Gradually Increase Heat
Raise gradually:
70°C (158°F) → 90°C (194°F) → 100°C (212°F)
Each step draws out new layers of flavor, from delicate umami to rich depth.
Water
The Right Balance
Use 120ml (4.1oz) of water for the first infusion, then 150ml (5oz) for the remaining infusions.
Consistency ensures every steep reveals the tea’s full character, from the first pour to the last.
Brewing
Timing Each Infusion
Steep with care:
90s → 90s → 120s
Each step reveals a new layer of flavor, balancing freshness, depth, and lingering sweetness.
Tips
Perfect Your Brew
For a lighter taste, reduce brewing by 10 seconds; for a stronger flavor, extend by 10 seconds
First, pour into a Yuzamashi (cooling vessel) to harmonize flavor and aroma before serving. Always pour until the very last drop, where the richest flavor concentrates.
Tea Pairing
Little snack on the side
Prepare a bowl of nuts and a cup of Goraiko for a relaxing appetizer
