Inspired by the old home-style method of rolling leaves on woven mats and roasting them in an iron pot, this tea brings back a comforting, traditional flavor. A touch of gentle bitterness balances with a clean, refreshing finish. 

It’s the kind of tea you can enjoy generously, without fuss: easy, comforting, and made for everyday drinking.

Did you know?: Guricha (ぐり茶) is a colloquial way of referring to Tamaryokucha (玉緑茶), a style of Japanese green tea where the leaves are rolled into rounded, comma-like shapes rather than straight needles. The name comes from the onomatopoeia guri, describing the curled, rounded form of the leaves. It’s a word that carries a homestyle warmth—perfect for this nostalgic tea.
