Order by Aug 20 – Enjoy Matcha Before New U.S. Tariffs

Every cup of tea you enjoy supports us (the farmers), our village, and the centuries-old tradition of Japanese tea-making. We’re truly grateful that you’ve been part of our story.

 We’d like to give you an important heads-up. On July 30, 2025, the U.S. government announced changes to import rules, ending the duty-free exemption for all international shipments. Starting August 29, 2025, every order to the U.S. (regardless of value) will be subject to import duties and taxes. We understand that no one likes surprise expenses, so we’d like to help you avoid them.

By placing your order by August 20, 2025, we can prioritize shipping to ensure it reaches you in time—allowing you to enjoy your tea at today’s prices before the new tariffs take effect.

This year’s harvest is especially dear to us. We’re proud to share that all our matcha now carries JAS Organic Certification, reflecting our dedication to quality and sustainability. While a colder winter meant a slightly smaller harvest, the extra care we gave in cultivation has produced tea with an even richer, more vibrant flavor.

It would mean so much to us for you to experience this special batch before these changes take effect. 

With gratitude,
