Rakankiku Tea

Into the deep fragrance of Japanese black tea from Mie — ginger, which warms the circulation;

chrysanthemum flowers, which quiet the heart; jujube, which holds nourishment;

and kumquat, fresh in fragrance — all layered together.

With gentle licorice and monk fruit (rakanka) added to this,

a natural sweetness spreads quietly.

Warming the body, clarifying the feelings —

a tea for autumn and winter.

The gentleness of a single cup enfolds you, softly.
