Fermented Kobushi & Getto (Shell Ginger) Tea
The roasted fragrance of habu tea (ketsumeishi) creates a soft shadow, and
the sweet scent of peach blossom rises, suddenly.
To this, getto (shell ginger) and fermented kobushi give depth and stillness,
spreading a cool, clear margin within the body.
Fermented kobushi is said to clear cold and dampness from the stomach and intestines and to assist the circulation of qi, while
getto holds a fragrance that seems to protect body and mind, and a cool clarity excellent in antibacterial and antioxidant qualities.
Peach blossom loosens circulation and tension, and gives the heart a sweet margin.
For a time that restores stillness.
A honzo flower tea that settles tired eyes
and disordered circulation.
