Spring has finally arrived! In Japan, while cherry blossoms are capturing everyone's attention, the countdown to the new season's tea harvest has also begun. We'll be drunk with shincha tasting in a few months.

For now, we're happy to present a collection of pottery from Japan, much of it from the town of Mashiko in Tochigi Prefecture. I lived there in 1999-2000, and made numerous trips back in the following few years.

The people and pottery of Mashiko definitely have a special place in my heart.

We hope that you will also enjoy the warmth of Mashiko-yaki.

P.S. We are ever thankful to those who participated in our January-March fundraiser for Wajima Earthquake Relief with purchases, donations, and healing prayers.

We can all use help, or give help, at some time in our lives.

Uji Organic Gyokuro - 2022 1st Harvest
Origin: Uji, Kyoto
Cultivar: Saemidori
This Organic Gyokuro from Uji infuses to a golden-green hue, and is a smooth, yet full-bodied tea with grassy and buttery notes and a slightly astringent finish, lasting through multiple infusions.

Uji has been a leading center of tea production since the 13th Century, and has long enjoyed a reputation in Japan for fine teas. Uji teas were commissioned and enjoyed by high-ranking generals, aristocrats, the Buddhist clergy, and even the Shogun throughout the Edo Period. The Uji region is especially known for the shade-grown teas (Kabuse-cha) that lead to the production of Gyokuro and Tencha (the base tea for Matcha.)
