Morihata Organic Hachijyu-Hachiya Loose Leaf Green Tea

A cup of tea with a little good luck behind it.

In Japan, the 88th day after the beginning of spring is known as Hachijyu-hachiya. Traditionally, tea picked on this particular day is believed to be especially delicious—and drinking it is said to bring good health and good fortune for the year ahead.

This organic green tea is harvested in Kirishima, Japan on that very day.

Brew a cup and you’ll find a tea that feels fresh and lively, with a clean taste and the gentle aroma of spring. It’s light enough to enjoy throughout the day and particularly lovely when you have a few quiet minutes to sit down and appreciate it.

There’s something we love about the idea of drinking tea tied to a particular moment in the season. You don’t have to know anything about Japanese tea traditions to enjoy it. Make a pot, pour yourself a cup, and consider the good luck an added bonus.

Detailed brewing instructions are included with each tin.

Organically grown and harvested in Kirishima, Japan.
