Tea
Ippodo Tea Co. is a Kyoto-based purveyor of premium Japanese green tea, founded almost 3 centuries ago. Their teas are of the finest class, cultivated in the lush fields of Kyoto and the surrounding area. This region is renowned for producing the highest quality of green tea in Japan, thanks largely to its mild, misty climate, mineral-rich soil and near-perfect balance of sunshine and rainfall.
(All of these teas, and more, are available for purchase at Ippodo's NY store at the 1st floor.)
