Rare Teas Set
This Rare Tea Gift Box from Kintsugi House presents two exceptional Japanese teas in airtight tins, nestled in a beautiful pine box. A perfect gift for tea connoisseurs, this limited-edition collection features Purple Sencha and Watanabe Oolong—two unusual teas that exemplify a departure from traditional Japanese tea craftsmanship.
Purple Sencha is a visually stunning tea crafted from the Sun Rouge cultivar, a unique cross between Camellia sinensis and Camellia taliensis. The dry leaves display a deep black hue, and when brewed, the tea has a subtle purple tint that transforms into vibrant pink with a splash of lemon. Rich in anthocyanins, the same antioxidant found in blueberries and acai, this tea has a refreshing aroma of dried fruit, hay, and acai. On the palate, it opens with a bright tartness, a brisk mouthfeel, and a lingering astringency. Perfect for cold brews or tea cocktails, Purple Sencha is as aesthetically captivating as it is flavorful.
Watanabe Oolong is a rare pan-fired oolong from Deai Farm in Shizuoka, a region known for its fine tea production. Created by fourth-generation tea farmer Jun Watanabe, this oolong is a blend of six Japanese tea cultivars and is crafted with a delicate touch, resulting in a light oxidation reminiscent of Taiwan's high-mountain oolongs. With floral and fruity aromas, a smooth body, and a distinctive character, Watanabe Oolong offers a refreshing departure from the traditional Japanese tea profile and can be reinfused multiple times.
With over 99% of Japanese tea production focusing on green tea, these two teas provide a unique experience, showcasing Japan’s evolving tea culture and the artistry of small-scale producers.
Contains 1.5 oz. (45g) Approximately 25 cups if reinfused as recommended.
