Dark, humid, and almost ritual.
Memories of Tokyo Collection
Tokyo after dark moves to a different rhythm.
In Shinjuku, neon signs glow above narrow streets, lanterns burn in hidden alleyways, and fragments of conversation drift through the humid night air. Beneath the movement and noise of the city lies something darker, more dangerous, and more intimate.
Shinjuku Midnight was created from this side of Tokyo.
Deep-roasted hojicha forms the rich, warming base of the blend, followed by the soft roasted sweetness of black soybean.
What gives this tea its distinctive character is dokudami, a plant long used in Japan as a traditional herb. Its botanical, slightly wild flavor recalls the local beliefs, rituals, and old memories that still remain in rural Japan.
Even beneath the skyscrapers and neon of the modern city, older sensibilities and unseen traces of the past continue to live within people. The deep botanical character of dokudami gives expression to this hidden side of Tokyo.
Deep, roasted, and slightly mysterious.
Shinjuku Midnight can be enjoyed on its own, but it also pairs exceptionally well with craft gin, whisky, and a wide range of spirits.
