With tea, there is always a space
for you to play a role.

With tea, there is always
a space for you
to play a role.

Nurtured and crafted by tea farmers, our teas are born from uncompromising craftsmanship.
All our teas have unique and wonderful flavors, but are still unfinished.

The flavor is transformed by both brewers and drinkers.
You play a role in creating the flavor of the tea.

By adding “I” to wab_sab_ we get “wabi sabi”,
an ancient Japanese philosophy that finds beauty in the incomplete and imperfect.

What will you experience with our tea?

The land and the people come together
to become the tea

Unique teas are born from the climate of each region and the meticulous approach of the farmers.
What’s visible beyond our single-origin tea is the everyday landscape of Japan that one usually does not encounter when visiting traditional tourist spots.

Gently unwind your mind with tea

Our tea is inspired by Unfinished Beauty.
This is one of the core concepts of wabi sabi, an ancient Japanese philosophy, which teaches us to let go of perfection and to embrace imperfection.

The unfinished nature of tea provides space for freedom and enjoyment.
So we refrain from prescribing any ideals of taste, nor do we tell you exactly how to brew or drink your tea. Instead, we just give you suggestions as to how to picture flavors and aromas, so that you may find your favorite way to enjoy tea.

Our wish is for you to embrace this tea journey without being bound by any rules.
