TSUTA -  Certified Organic Single Cultivar Aged Green Tea

TSUTA is a rare and interesting green tea, a result of patience and transformation. Crafted from 1st-flush Yabukita leaves and aged for at least one year, it follows the centuries-old Kuradashi tradition once practised during the Tokugawa shogunate. Through time, the tea’s youthful vitality softens into a mellow depth, revealing layers of quiet complexity and gentle sweetness.

What Makes TSUTA Special

  • The Art of Aging: Inspired by Japan’s historic Kuradashi method, TSUTA is carefully stored and aged for over a year, allowing its vibrant spring character to mature into a rounder, smoother and more harmonious flavour
  • 1st Flush Purity: Made exclusively from 1st-harvest leaves, the youngest and most nutrient-dense growth of spring, these leaves form the ideal foundation for aging, balancing natural sweetness with refined freshness
  • Pioneering Organic Craftsmanship: Grown by a family-run organic farm in Fujieda, Shizuoka, that has been a pioneer in sustainable tea cultivation since the 1970s. Certified organic under the Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS), every batch is grown with respect for nature’s rhythm and purity Discover Our Tea Partner in Shizuoka >>

A Tea Shaped by Time

With age, TSUTA’s bright green youth evolves into something deeper and more introspective. The result is a smooth, umami-rich cup with notes of sweet hay, soft umami & a deep vegetal note

An Expression of Balance and Calm

Like time itself, TSUTA invites stillness. Its low astringency and round, comforting profile make it a beautiful companion for reflective moments

FLAVOUR PROFILE

AROMA

Bold and profound, a deep vegetal note reminiscent of a wet forest

TASTE

Aging turns the sharp grassy taste into a warm and round, almost woody flavour. It also brings out the subtle sweetness and honey-like undertones for a complex and layered finish

HOW TO ENJOY IT?

TSUTA's bolder profile makes it an excellent choice for green tea lovers who enjoy a deeper, more profound taste. It is best enjoyed by brewing with slightly hotter water to fully release its complex flavours

  1. Heat Water: Heat up filtered water, cool it down using a water cooler to  around 80°C (Using water that is too hot will make the tea bitter)
  2. Measure Tea: Add 5g (approx. 1-2 teaspoon) of tea leaves per 250ml of water to your teapot
  3. Steep: Steep for around 1 minute for the 1st infusion. For subsequent infusions, extend the time to 1-2 minutes soothing
  4. Pour: Pour the tea into your cup (or back to the water cooler), make sure to get every last drop to prevent the leaves from over-steeping.
  5. Enjoy: It is good to drink on its own or its interesting profile matches amazingly with dark chocolate, creating a delightful and unique tasting experience

STORAGE TIPS

To keep your tea leaves fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and odours. Ensure the bag is tightly sealed, and gently press out as much air as possible before closing it
