Tsuguto Hattori is one of the most innovative and uncompromising tea producers in Japan, crafting styles of tea that exist practically 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.

This collection set brings together his 3 extraordinary offerings in a special gift box, perfect for the holiday season. Each bag is hand-packed in custom packaging, featuring a woodcut print designed by Tsuguto Hattori himself. These teas are crafted with extended and thoughtful tasting in mind—each brew reveals layers of complexity with subsequent steeps.
