The power of cleaning purifies both space and mind. Taking time for gentle cleaning not only tidies your surroundings but also beautifies your inner self.
Why not start a ritual of preparing a long-steeping tea before your morning cleaning? The exceptionally crisp and elegant "002 Koshun" offers a particularly refreshing taste when cold-brewed.
If you set up the tea leaves, ice, and water before you start cleaning, a cold sencha will be ready by the time you finish.
This brew is luxurious, with a faint sweet aroma that wafts through your nose with each sip. It's perfect for quenching your thirst after physical activity and serves as an ideal reward for your hard work.
