Ikigaicha
IKIGAICHA is our Japanese tea, retail and experience brand bringing together exceptional teas, craftsmanship, education and hospitality in a contemporary expression of Japanese culture.
At the heart of IKIGAICHA is a deep curiosity for Japanese tea its origins, cultivars, producers, preparation and the culture surrounding it.
Our tea library brings together more than 90 Japanese teas and infusions, spanning single-origin and single-cultivar teas, regional blends, rare and high-altitude teas, semi-oxidised and post-fermented teas, and teas smoked over different woods.
The library extends beyond tea leaves to Japanese herbal and botanical infusions, roasted Hokkaido soba and distinctive regional infusions, offering a wider exploration of Japan through origin, season, craft and taste.
But tea is only the beginning.
IKIGAICHA brings together tea, craftsmanship, education and hospitality, creating a place to discover Japan through taste, knowledge and experience.
We believe the value of tea lies not only in what is in the cup, but in understanding where it comes from, who made it and the knowledge behind it.
IKIGAICHA celebrates producers, regions and traditions while presenting them in a way that feels relevant to contemporary life.
