Roppongi Tea Factory
The final making of tea begins in a work of art you drink from.
Leaves alone do not make tea.
A space to brew it, a vessel to pour it, and the hands that prepare it.
A single leaf, born in the field, is finished in the bowl.
All these acts, and all this time, become the final making of the tea.
— Tea, made in Roppongi.
Single-Origin
SENCHA
SENCHA is the most widely enjoyed green tea in Japan.
Carefully crafted by steaming freshly picked tea leaves and rolling them as they dry, it produces a beautifully clear, golden hue when brewed.
With an exquisite balance of umami, subtle astringency, and rich aroma, it creates a moment uniquely yours—whether paired with a meal or enjoyed during a quiet pause in your everyday life.
We bring this carefully selected Sencha from Roppongi Tea Factory into your life, delivering it alongside a variety of wonderful ways to enjoy it.
Matured in Roppongi
Matcha
A maturity raised by time — the most discerning hand of all — in a single bowl.
Vessel: a soft, black-glazed bowl that holds its heat gently.
Freshly made, it can be brash with youth.
So we let it rest. Buds picked in spring are sealed in a tea jar and aged through the summer in the cellar.
When the seal is broken at the late-autumn "kuchikiri," what waits is a sweetness grown round and deep, and an overwhelming lingering aroma.
Hojicha
Uihana (ういはな) — SENCHA Kondō Wase | Première récolte
Un SENCHA rare issu du cultivar Kondō Wase, cultivé uniquement dans la région de Mariko, à Shizuoka.
Récolté début du mois d’avril, ses jeunes feuilles révèlent un parfum floral évoquant le jasmin, accompagné d’une umami subtile.
Sa production annuelle étant très limitée, il est souvent qualifié de « thé fantôme ».
Une fois la récolte de printemps épuisée, il faudra attendre le printemps suivant pour le retrouver. Infusé chaud, il déploie une grande délicatesse aromatique ; en infusion à froid, il évoque la légèreté d’un vin blanc floral.
Une tasse qui capture le commencement discret du printemps.

A Sencha Workshop for the Five Senses: Single-Origin Japanese Tea
The more you learn, the more tea fascinates.
Like wine or coffee, single-origin Japanese tea reflects the land and the maker's philosophy directly in the cup.
In this workshop, you'll experience haiken — the tasting method tea professionals use — with their own appraisal tools, reading the true character of each leaf through sight, touch, aroma, and taste. After comparing rare single-origin cultivars from Shizuoka to discover your own preferences, you'll learn how to brew and enjoy them in everyday life.
An invitation to the world within a single cup.
