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
Oolong pot of tea, 3.75
Oolong tea combines the steaming of green teas and the fermentation of
black teas. Oolong tea has a rich taste but is much lower in caffeine
than black tea. A very light and delicate taste.
Jasmine Dragon Pearl pot of tea, 3.75
Hand rolled from pure buds into pearl shaped balls, this highly scented tea has a sweet and soothing aroma.
Jasmine Rishi Fairy (flower tea) single serving, $3.75
Highly scented by fresh Jasmine flowers, buds are tied into balls and
open into beautiful flower in hot water. A very luxurious tea.
Pearl in a Sea (flower tea) single serving, 3.75

in hot water to display a white chrysanthemum flower surrounded by snow
plum flower buds. A beautifully exotic tea, soothing and refreshing.
