Izumi Tea's story

Hi, I'm Jamal. I grew up associating green tea with a bitter and flavourless drink made from a tea bag filled with powdered leaves. As I got older and became more interested in Japanese culture, I learned of the art of tea and its history in Japan. This led me to searching out real high quality Japanese green tea to try myself. I soon found this simple green drink to be unexpectedly diverse, complex and steeped in history and tradition. I enjoyed the calming energy it gave me, the moments of tranquility while I prepared a cup. Now it's become a daily habit and something of an obsession if i'm honest! My hope with Izumi Tea is to share my passion for tea with as many people as I can, and to be a source of outstanding quality tea that you can trust.

  • Direct from Japan

    Every tea I sell comes straight from master growers across Japan who use decades of experience to cultivate excellent tea.

  • Taste tested

    The three teas in this launch range are the best of the many teas I evaluated before launch, meticulously chosen for their complex flavour and drinkability.

  • Refined choice

    A world of leaves, boiled down to three superior teas. A rare regional variety, a succulent every-day tea and a taste of excellence from Yame.
