Tea Time with Obāchan

Inspired by the gentle wisdom of our grandmothers, Tea Time with Obāchan invites you to slow down and savor this cherished ritual with your loved ones. The gift bundle features a custom handcrafted ceramic tea set and loose-leaf hojicha tea leaves, both sourced directly from revered multi-generational artisans in Kyoto, Japan. Completing the experience is a Deux Cranes Hojicha Karintō Dark Milk Chocolate Bar that reimagines karintō — a crisp brown sugar snack — in layers of caramelized milk and dark chocolate, with toasty notes from the infusion of roasted green tea.

Available for nationwide shipping on November 1st, Tea Time with Obāchan includes:

• Hojicha Karintō Dark Milk Chocolate Bar, inspired by the nostalgic flavors of hojicha tea and Karinto, handcrafted by Deux Cranes chocolate maker Michiko Marron-Kibbey, celebrated for her creative blend of French techniques with Japanese flavors.
• Loose-leaf Hojicha Tea from Morihan, Uji, Kyoto; the nearly two-century-old, family-owned tea house in Uji is revered for its award-winning ceremonial teas and a trusted name is Kyoto tea culture.
• Handcrafted Ceramic Tea Strainer & Matching Cup Set by Koshun Kiln, led by third-generation potter Shinichi Takashima. The studio is known for its colorful, hand-decorated tableware made using the icchin technique—where fine lines of clay are piped onto the surface to create textured patterns.
• Furoshiki by MUSUBI ($18.00), a third-generation Kyoto-based textile company founded in 1937 and committed to modernizing the use of these versatile cloths for everyday use (optional add-on).
