Kobanasaki Tea

The stillness of winter trees, and

the presence of flowers waiting for spring.

The invisible signs of life that lie between them,

we let bloom, gently, within the steam.

From such a wish, this tea was born.

On a base of the roasted fragrance of kamairicha (pan-fired tea),

branches of kuromoji and aburachan,

and peach blossoms are layered,

with a single leaf of lime, which bears fruit from autumn into winter.

Lime leaf is cherished as a fragrant herb that settles the circulation of qi and lightens the heart, and

its pure fragrance unravels one's thoughts and slows the breath.

Together with the presence of the trees and flowers,

a fresh, clear fragrance spreads quietly,

as if a small flower were blooming even in the midst of winter,

delivering a gentle moment.
