Zen Morning Tea
Memories of Tokyo Collection
Asakusa feels different before the city fully wakes.
Around Sensō-ji, the first light falls across old wooden buildings and stone paths. Footsteps are still sparse, the air is cool, and a faint trace of incense lingers around the temple grounds.
Morning in Asakusa was created from this atmosphere.
At the heart of the blend is Reverie of Warashina, Ginza Fuka’s flagship Japanese green tea from Shizuoka. Its smooth, deep character forms the foundation of the tea, while roasted hojicha adds warmth and depth. Tonka bean brings a soft, rounded sweetness, while osmanthus and jasmine add a delicate floral lift that rises gently through the aroma.
The first impression is floral and light. Jasmine and osmanthus appear softly at the top, followed by the mellow warmth of roasted tea, the gentle sweetness of tonka, and the deep, smooth character of Reverie of Warashina.
Warm, nostalgic, and contemplative, this is a tea inspired by Asakusa in the early morning, before the streets begin to fill.
