Tea in Japan is about the pleasure of drinking it obviously, but also the pleasure to make an offer tea itself, or share a pleasant evening over tea. A cup of good tea will refresh you after reams of work. As we all know, a good cup is a necessity for tea drinking, and what we need to do is choosing a lovely teacup for ourselves.

At Shizen, we believe that both the tea you consume and the pottery you drink from need to be in the highest quality possible. We are dedicated to working with single harvest tea farms in Japan. Our ceramics come from many craftsman in Japan who are continuing the tradition of handmade ceramics.
Shizen Cha is focused on premium grade Japanese Teas and Handcrafted Teaware.
Simply put, Shizen (自然) means "nature" & Cha (茶) means "tea" in Japan. Our loose leaf teas are picked and processed with the utmost care and precision by our tea farms who demand impeccable quality and freshness.
We believe that quality should never be compromised. We pride ourselves on transparency, clear genealogy, and clear production history. We pay close attention to every step from choosing only the finest leaves and growing, shading and steaming methods. By blending our teas in small patches, packaging by hand is how we provide the best quality tea possible.
We welcome all tea enthusiasts to join us learn more about the thousand year tea culture, with one hope, that each visit will provide excitement, knowledge and to experience tea in the best form possible.
"The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism ... for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe." - Kakuzo Okakura
