Nakomitea
What is Nakomitea all about?
Nakomi Tea was created from a love for authentic Japanese tea culture and the centuries-old traditions of Uji, Kyoto — the birthplace of Japan’s finest matcha.
For generations, Uji farmers have perfected the art of shading, hand-picking, and stone-grinding tea leaves into a vibrant, silky powder. Nakomi Tea partners directly with these artisans to bring you a true ceremonial-grade experience.
