72 Seasons Curated Playlists

This is a series of seasonally selected music curated by Kettl Tea which follows the 72 5 -7 day micro-seasons found in Japan. We will release a new 4-5 song playlist every 5 days in the hopes of evoking the seasons here on the east coast of the USA. Each playlist is meant to enhance the time you spend with your tea and connect us all to the rhythm of the seasons.
