  • The Story of this Tea

    Waking up to fog in spring is good news for farmers in West Shizuoka’s "organic valley." Foggy days slow growth, allowing tea bushes to develop their signature umami richness. We’ve chosen a Sencha that reflects this unique mountain terroir, crafted by the masters at Marusen Isagawa Cooperative. Their expertise at steaming the freshly picked leaves creates a Sencha with a zen-like harmony of umami and vegetal sweetness.

Where does this cup come from?

Shizuoka, Japan

In West Shizuoka’s 'organic valley', spring mornings often arrive veiled in soft, lingering fog — a natural gift that defines this tranquil mountain region. The mist drifts through cedar forests and across terraced tea fields, slowing the growth of tender leaves and enriching them with the deep umami that has made Shizuoka famous among Japan’s tea-growing heartlands. Here, generations of farmers have shaped the landscape with care, cultivating harmony between nature and tradition. The valley’s cool climate, pure mountain water, and mineral-rich soils together create an environment where tea, and those who tend it, thrive in quiet rhythm with the land.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store JING tea?

All tea should be kept away from heat, light, moisture and odours. Exposure to these will cause the tea to deteriorate and lose flavour.


We recommend storing our loose teas in our beautiful Refill Caddies or its resealable ziplock bag, and store them in a cool dry place. Generally speaking, black teas and more heavily oxidized oolongs can be stored for a longer time than green, white and lightly oxidized oolong teas. Green teas, white teas and light oolong teas are best drunk within two to three months of opening.


However, they can also be stored in the fridge to maintain freshness for as long as possible. If you choose to store your green, white and light oolongs in the fridge, be careful to take the packs out a little in advance of making your tea so that they can reach room temperature. Opening a bag straight from the fridge will result in condensation on the inside of the pack, which when closed can then affect the quality of the tea inside.

How do you source your teas?

We don’t just believe that single origin and single garden teas taste better. We go direct to source to get them. Cutting out the middlemen in this way encourages transparency by increasing traceability. It also helps us to build strong relationships with producers, so we can better support them and their communities. We back this up with stringent responsible procurement processes, applicable to all of our suppliers. You can find out more here.
