Heart of Tokyo
Heart of Tokyo
The Elegant Center of the City
Memories of Tokyo Collection
A refined rose gyokuro inspired by the quiet elegance found at the very center of Tokyo.
Surrounded by stone architecture, secluded gardens, and broad tree-lined avenues, the area around the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station carries a different rhythm from the rest of the city. Beneath the movement of modern Tokyo lies an atmosphere of restraint, balance, and timeless sophistication.
Heart of Tokyo was created to express that stillness.
Built almost entirely upon premium Japanese gyokuro, the blend embraces deep umami, delicate sweetness, and remarkable clarity. A trace of rose appears only momentarily, like a brief reflection of light across polished stone, before dissolving into the elegant depth of the tea itself.
Refined and understated, the tea captures the feeling of stillness existing at the very heart of one of the world’s largest cities.
