Tsuguto Hattori Hand Picked White Tea
$125.00
Variant
Tsuguto Hattori may be one of the most innovative tea producers in all of Japan, crafting styles of tea found nowhere else throughout the country. Domestic White tea production is nearly unheard of, but Hattori san is undeterred in his commitment to its production. Produced entirely from Yabukita plants grown on reclaimed tea plantations in Higashiyoshino at 350 masl without the use of pesticides, this tea is almost free of processing as the hand picked leaves are slowly withered in shade. The resulting cup is unlike anything we have ever tasted—presenting an intensely aromatic, botanical profile that is situated in a silky texture.

We originally featured the 2024 harvest of this tea in our Kiwami Collection, and we jumped at the opportunity to purchase the entire yield from the new season. This is a one-of-a-kind production that we are honored to showcase.

Tsuguto Hattori

Tsuguto Hattori may be one of the most innovative and uncompromising tea producers in Japan, crafting styles of tea that exist nowhere else in the country. Working with Yabukita plants grown on reclaimed tea plantations in Higashiyoshino at approximately 350 meters above sea level, Hattori-san personally tends and hand harvests his gardens without the use of pesticides. His work is defined by an extraordinary willingness to challenge convention, pursuing expressions of tea that are largely unheard of in Japan—and, in some cases, entirely without precedent. Through patience, experimentation, and an unwavering commitment to craft, Tsuguto Hattori continues to redefine what Japanese tea can be. We are proud to be the sole importer of his tea, bringing his exceptional offerings to the Kettl audience.

An unwavering commitment to quality.
