Packaging and delivery is amazing very delicious love it all
Mellow and complex. Perfect for relaxing.
Brewed very precisely according to the directions here.
This was my 3rd time buying this tea - it's a very subtle green tea with the most beautiful smell and it comes in very nice packaging, and is of course organic. I sip it and try to take myself back to my amazing, calm days walking around Gion.
I am so happy I got 2 jars. This thing is addictive!
Shipping was fast. The package came in beautifully wrapped. The almonds were great, matcha spread is to die for and I can’t wait to taste the matcha tea. Thank you!

I recently ordered tea from Chikiriya Tea House, and I am beyond impressed. The shipping was incredibly fast, and there were no issues at all with the delivery. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and the quality of the products is top-notch. I will definitely be ordering from here again.
Great product. Loving the fact that the price includes international shipping and taxes! Will be ordering again soon.
I finally finished the 40g, and I absolutely love the flavor. It’s very fragrant, with little bitterness and no astringency. It pairs perfectly with milk! I will definitely be buying more!
