Yoshiaki Hiruma Micro-oxidized Kamairicha (Pre-Order)

One of the most unique and stunning teas we have come across from a vanguard producer in Japanese tea production, Yoshiaki Hiruma. After harvest, the tea leaves undergo a controlled wilting process using ultraviolet light—a system Hiruma-san designed himself—before being pan-fired to halt oxidation. This unique process imbues the tea with a rich, pronounced chocolatey note, a complex fruitiness, and an umami that just keeps going. It is a supreme honor to share the teas of Yoshiaki Hiruma with a wider audience, and this selection may be the best representation of his unique vision, peerless execution, and breathtaking results.

Yoshiyaki Hiruma's teas are some of the most coveted in our catalog and have been in high demand since their last appearance on our menus. In celebration of their imminent arrival of these limited offerings, we're launching the teas from Hiruma-san's 2025 harvest with pre-orders. The teas are currently being air shipped directly to our Brooklyn warehoue and will ship upon arrival.
