A Once-in-a-Lifetime Taste of a Legendary Tea Variety

Temomi (hand-rolled) organic Marishi, crafted into an unparalleled, highest-grade sencha.

From everyday tea to a tea that embraces stillness.
Enter a world of Japanese tea unlike anything before.

Marishi Fuji Hand-Rolled Tea Set

The organically cultivated Marishi tea has been nurtured with extreme care for a year. Handpicked with care, the Marishi leaves were transformed into a masterpiece through the dedicated artistry of the former head of the National Hand-Rolled Tea Preservation Society, who meticulously completed the hand-rolling and roasting process over six hours. This process extracted the extraordinary potential of the elusive Marishi variety, giving birth to the exquisite tea known as “Marishi Fuji.” Marishi Fuji offers a deep umami reminiscent of fine dashi, offering an exceptional flavor that makes you nod in agreement that this is the pinnacle of Japanese tea.  

In order for you to savor the exquisite hand-rolled tea as a moment of pure bliss, we present: 

・A Hira Hohin teapot from Arita ware that beautifully showcases the unfurling tea leaves. 
・Premium wasanbon sugar crafted by the foremost artisan in traditional Japanese wooden carving, Mr. Ichihara.

Each piece is elegantly wrapped in a furoshiki of “Kyo-Murasaki,” a traditional and noble Japanese purple, coming together to form an unparalleled, exquisite Temomi-cha set.

The Naming of “Marishi Fuji”

Marishi is an exceptionally rare tea variety, even within Shizuoka Prefecture, and is often described as a tea to be experienced at least once in a lifetime. This particular Marishi was organically cultivated using the traditional “Shizenjitate” method, in which each tea tree is hand-trimmed and carefully shaped to encourage natural growth. The leaves were then skillfully hand-rolled using traditional techniques. Its exceptional quality was recognized at the first tea auction of 2025, where it received the highest bid. This tea, worthy of Japan’s finest cup, was given the name “Marishi Fuji.”

Craftsmanship in Every Leaf

Marishi Fuji consists solely of the tender first shoots, handpicked from organic, pesticide-free tea fields. Each leaf is carefully steamed and then hand-rolled for more than six hours on a hoiro. 

Unlike regular teas, hand-rolled tea leaves are never cut, preserving their elegance. When brewed, they gently unfurl and return to their original shape, revealing the leaf’s natural beauty. 

Rich umami and fragrant aromas gracefully spread, allowing you to indulge in an exquisitely rich flavor that seeps into your heart with every drop.

A Harvest Savored Twice

Because Marishi Fuji is organically grown, the tea leaves themselves can be enjoyed after brewing. With just a pinch of salt or a drizzle of olive oil, the fresh, spring-like aroma of handpicked leaves fills the mouth—creating the sensation of standing in a tea field at the foot of Mt. Fuji. It is the ultimate expression of Japanese tea—both to drink and to savor.

A Cup Not for Thirst, but to Calm the Mind

Marishi Fuji is not a tea made to satisfy thirst. It is a single, thoughtful cup meant to help you release distraction and reconnect with yourself. 

・The quiet gesture of pouring hot water 
・The clarity of the tea’s pale color
・Savoring the rich umami concentrated in just 30cc, down to the very last drop 
・And finally, enjoying the beautifully revived tea leaves, like a fine dish

Each step invites stillness and focus—guiding you into a restorative moment for both body and mind.

A Moment of “Mu” to Restore Mind and Body

Brewed quietly and alone, Marishi Fuji awakens a sense of stillness that modern life often makes us forget—inviting clarity and the sharpening of the five senses.

・A single cup savored alongside the sounds of nature
・A moment on your own, undisturbed

Step away from the everyday, and experience the quiet luxury of engaging with Japanese tea as a form of art.
