We walked through the village and visited each of these shops. That day in early January 2025 was exceptionally cold (20s°F – 40s°F) in Fujikawaguchiko – lake Saiko area. This was because it sits at high elevation (nearly 3,000 feet above sea level), and January is Japan’s peak winter. Walking through the local shops reminded me of the market stalls where my grandparents ran their own successful general merchandise store. That family legacy inspired the foundation of our business model, and how we design it around the four core principles: Curated Quality: A thoughtfully limited selection of tea and herbs, sourced exclusively from respectful, reputable growers. Mindful Pairings: Guidance on pairing our tea selections with the right foods. Education & Service First: Engaging and teaching our community through genuine customer care. Fair Value: Exceptional quality offered at reasonable pricing.
