A big thank you to Tekuno for sponsoring my blog this week.
Tekuno is a San Francisco tea company that works directly with producers to showcase the world of Japanese green teas (and matcha!). Their small team travels to Japan each year—COVID notwithstanding—to source teas based upon a simple philosophy: find teas that are expressive in aroma, flavor, and texture; choose teas that reshape how we think teas should taste; and seek small scale producers with whom they can have a close relationship. And if you need a tea recommendation, they’re always happy to help via email or Instagram DMs.
They also offer subscriptions and collaborate with local ceramicists if you’re looking for a thoughtful gift idea.
