Product Description

Kirameki is Ishida Chaya's most prized deep-steamed tea, crafted with exceptional care and expertise. The tea leaves used for Kirameki are handpicked during the early harvest of first-flush tea in late April, when the leaves are at their peak flavor, offering a perfect balance of sweetness, umami, and aroma.

As the days progress, the delicate flavor of the young buds naturally changes, making this early harvest limited and precious. Only the finest young leaves, meticulously inspected and selected for their superior taste, are used to create this premium tea.

Enjoy the refreshing aroma of fresh young buds, paired with the rich sweetness and umami that characterize this top-tier tea. Kirameki is the pinnacle of Ishida Chaya's offerings, bringing you an unparalleled tea experience.

About Ishida Chaten

Established in 1946, Ishida Chaten traces its roots to Ishida Shohei, the founder who began his tea business under the name Ishida Shohei Shoten. Initially, he cycled around the local Morimachi area, working as a tea broker in a region renowned as a historic tea-producing area in Shizuoka, with its fame extending nationwide.

In 1973, after completing rigorous training in tea craftsmanship, the second-generation owner, Masanobu Ishida, took over the family business, gradually expanding its scale. By 1991, Ishida Chaten Co., Ltd. was officially established. In 1998, a new factory was built alongside the opening of the retail shop "Ishida Chaya," with the aim of sharing the exceptional taste of Ishida’s tea with even more people.

Since its founding, Ishida Chaten has cherished one principle: crafting tea that brings genuine delight to customers. Ishida’s tea is both unique and distinctive, setting it apart from the ordinary.
