We also have many other matcha related gift sets, which are very special and are suitable for all levels of matcha lovers, from beginners to very knowledgeable drinkers!  

  • Japanese Tea Ceremony Workshops

    Gift tickets for our Japanese tea ceremony workshops are one our all-time best sellers. It is always an extra special way of giving a gift to someone, and something you can share with them, especially if one of you is
    enthusiastic about Japanese culture or simply a tea lover. We have had many parents and children participate, as a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift for
    example, as well as birthday presents. We’ve had lots of god parents with their god children too. There have been so many memorable experiences.

       

  • Loose Tea and Tea Ware

    The Japanese kyusu tea pot is the best for brewing
    loose tea. These come in a variety of designs and prices. Some have matching cups, some being hand-thrown, and some with very elegant patterns. We are able
    to offer a variety of kyusu from different regions inJapan, each region having a different character as the clay is quite different. Tokoname is one of the famous
    regions for kyusu tea pots, as Tokoname’s clay absorbs tannin particularly well, which means that tea made in Tokoname tea pot can have a milder, less bitter taste.
    Tea pots from the Yoshida and Arita regions are known for having wonderful patterns, which can be very uplifting! Whichever tea pot you choose, the right
    tea ware can change the taste of tea enormously, and be a wonderful addition to your life.

  • Books

    We have been keen to import specialist books from
    Japan about Japanese culture, about tea and the tea ceremony, and about pottery and crafts, both in Japanese and in English. In fact we have now started to
    work with a specialist tea ceremony publisher, Tankosha in Japan, which produces wonderful high quality books with the most beautiful photographs of the tea ceremony. They are well worth looking at, and would make a very special present.

  • Gift Voucher / Gift Wrapping Service
