Kurenai’s smooth sweetness and lack of bitterness make it an ideal choice for a relaxing afternoon break. Crafted with care from Japanese tea plants, its ripe fruit and honey-like notes create a truly unique flavor experience.
Kurenai pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts, such as apple tarts or pear pastries, amplifying the natural sweetness of the tea. Its refined aroma and light roasting process enhance the flavors of delicate sweets, creating a harmonious and satisfying pairing.
Enjoy Kurenai brewed in a kyusu teapot, and let its vibrant flavor and aroma transport you to a moment of peace and indulgence.
