As the days grow warmer and the light lingers just a little longer, we find ourselves reaching for simpler, softer things. A slice of pear—cool, tender, and quietly sweet—offers just that. Crisp at first bite, then melting into gentle juice, it’s a small, delicate refreshment for the body and mind. Pair it with Lì—our roasted rice and matcha blend with notes of plum and mandarin—and you have a tea moment that feels like a breeze through spring leaves. A soft ritual to welcome the sun back in. 🍐🍵 What fruits are finding their way onto your plate lately?

Begin your mornings with Yòu柚 Crafted with fukamushi (deep-steamed) sencha from the serene fields of Kakegawa, Japan, and whole yuzu from the sunlit groves of Tokushima, Yòu is a tea that awakens both the senses and the spirit. Its journey begins with sweet mandarin top notes, softens into a toasty floral middle, and lingers with a crisp, refreshing finish. A gentle companion to cleanse, nurture, and strengthen—Yòu offers a moment of renewal, from your first sip to your last. 🌿✨

As the year begins, we wish you moments of warmth—a quiet tea shared with loved ones—and the gentle pause of a cup brewed just for yourself on life’s busier days. This season, we looked up on the shelf for a book to pair with a calm tea break, and our choice was John Berger’s Ways of Seeing. With its concise yet profound reflections, it gently encourages us to reimagine how we view art, culture, and the world—an inspiring lens to carry into the days ahead. Any stories keeping you company lately? 🍵

Wishing you a warm start of the week 🕯️
