Chozu Bath & Tea Gardens

Japanese tea ceremony is more than an elaborate ritual, it is an interlude which leads oneself in the moment to spirit of beauty, quietude and politeness toward others.

There are 4 principles of tea ceremony:
Harmony
Respect
Purity
Tranquility

We bring these essential principles to our tea service further enhancing your personal wellness experience.

Green Teas
All green teas come from the same Camellia sinensis plant. The differences are in the way they are grown and harvested.

Matcha single serving, 4.25
Traditional matcha green tea made exclusively from the tips of the youngest tea plants. The pure dried leaves are stone ground into a super fine powder. Matcha is exclusively used in tea ceremony. Smooth, delicate and lightly sweet.

Gyokuro pot of tea, 4.25
Gyokuro is the most premium green tea available prior to the harvest, the plantation is shaded from sunlight, creating a more fragrant and aromatic tea.
Slightly sweeter than sencha, known for a crisp, clean taste.

Sencha pot of tea, 3.75
Freshly picked tea leaves are immediately steamed and rubbed to release their flavor and aroma before slowly drying. This traditional process preserves Sencha’s emerald green color and high antioxidants, most popular tea in Japan.

Genmaicha pot of tea, 3.75
Genmaicha is made from premium first-leaf sencha, genmai, and a pinch of matcha. This low caffeine tea has a crisp, slightly nutty taste. The pinch of matcha gives it an extraordinary bright green color.

Hojicha pot of tea, 3.75
Toasted sencha leaves very low in caffeine. This tea has an amber color and is aromatic and delicious.

Specialty Teas
