From Leaf to Powder
Wakoucha is black tea grown and made in Japan. Full oxidation gives the leaf its warm color and mellow aroma; milling carries that character into a powder.
The form changes how the tea is used. There is no leaf to remove and no final moment when extraction must stop.
Because the whole powder remains in the cup or recipe, strength is adjusted by quantity rather than steeping time. A small measure gives a light tea note. More powder builds color, aroma, and body without waiting for a longer extraction.
Whisked, Not Steeped
Whisk the powder into hot water for a direct cup, or blend it with milk for a softer, fuller expression. In cream and baking, the tea itself remains in the recipe rather than leaving only an infusion behind.
Wakoucha Powder turns Japanese black tea into a working ingredient while keeping its rounded aroma and smooth finish intact.
Drinking
Heals
We present Japanese tea and matcha as part of the Drinking Heals collection. In Japan, IPPUKU describes a brief pause—sometimes with tea, sometimes with a cigarette. Drinking Heals reimagines IPPUKU through Japanese tea. Inspired by the familiar warning “ Smoking Kills ” , it proposes another message: “ Drinking Heals .” A moment once associated with tobacco becomes a quiet ritual of water, tea, and time.
