The Ultimate Roasted Japanese Tea Experience

Smooth, smoky, or a little strange—we’ve got a roast for that.

Tea has nourished cultures for thousands of years. What began as a simple brew for energy, digestion, and focus evolved into a daily ritual across the globe, especially in Japan and China. From serene meditation halls to bustling family kitchens, tea became a powerful tool for connection and care.

As tea spread, so did its diverse styles. Leaves were carefully steamed, roasted, aged, and blended, resulting in a fascinating spectrum of flavors—from bright and grassy to rich and nutty, subtly bitter to exquisitely smooth.

At KINTÉ, we're dedicated to bringing you the ultimate tea experience by specializing in roasted Japanese teas. We hand-curate our collection for the curious, the discerning, and everyone eager to explore beyond the ordinary. Forget generic green tea; we offer depth, layers, and teas that taste like something you haven't tried before. Our Hojicha, for example, ranges from bold and smoky to delicate brews with surprising natural sweetness.

We partner with small farms in Japan to source teas that embody genuine craft, regional identity, and distinct character. Whether roasted or fresh, mellow or bold, every tea in our collection is thoughtfully chosen and simply presented. You'll find no filler, no fluff—just exceptional tea.

We founded KINTÉ because we realized most people have only experienced one version of Japanese tea, overlooking a vast and rich world of flavor. Our mission is clear: to make great tea easy to discover and even easier to enjoy. There's no formal ceremony, no gatekeeping—just a commitment to share our love for tea with everyone.
