Kimono Tea
Kimono Tea lineup — Matcha, Hojicha and Sencha cans on a wooden table with cherry blossom, tea fields and Mount Fuji

The tea that started the journey

Kimono Matcha.

Bright • Smooth • Vibrant

Most tea is steeped and then discarded. Matcha is different: the leaves are finely milled into powder and whisked into the water, so the leaf itself is consumed. That is why matcha tastes fuller and looks more vivid.

Green tea naturally contains caffeine, along with L-theanine, an amino acid found in the tea plant.

Matcha is where most people meet Kimono for the first time — cold, vivid and ready from the can.

The Art of the Tea Ceremony

Where the kimono meets the bowl.

In Japan, the geisha are keepers of a living tradition — music, poetry, hospitality and the quiet precision of tea. In the tea room, every gesture is deliberate: the folding of silk, the turn of the bowl, the whisking of matcha until it lifts.

That reverence is where our name comes from. Kimono Tea carries the spirit of that room — the care, the calm, the craft — into a can you can open anywhere.

The Collection

Three teas.Three rituals.

Kimono

MATCHA

Bright • Smooth • Vibrant

Finely milled Japanese green tea with a vibrant character. Green tea naturally contains caffeine along with L-theanine, an amino acid found in the tea plant.

SENCHA

Clean • Crisp • Refreshing

Classic Japanese green tea with a fresh, clean character created for everyday refreshment.

The Difference

Why Japanese tea?

One plant. Remarkably different expressions.

  • Matcha

    Finely milled into powder and whisked into the water — vibrant, full and unmistakable.

  • Sencha

    Steamed soon after picking and steeped as whole leaf — fresh, clean and refreshing.

  • Hojicha

    Roasted over heat until the leaf turns amber — warm, toasty and mellow.

Three distinctly different experiences.One extraordinary tea culture.

Discovery

The roasted side of green tea.

Hojicha is Japanese green tea transformed through roasting — a completely different sensory experience from the same leaf.

  • Warm.
  • Toasty.
  • Smooth.
  • Unexpected.

Its roasted character creates a mellow and distinctive tea experience — the tea people discover inside the Kimono family and quietly fall for.

Everyday

Japan's everyday tea.

Sencha represents the fresh, clean and refreshing side of Japanese green tea.

  • Clean.
  • Crisp.
  • Refreshing.
  • Simple.

This is the Kimono you reach for again and again — with lunch, after a walk, or simply because it is cold and it is there.

Occasions

A tea for every moment.

  • Kimono

    Matcha

    Morning or midday.

  • Kimono

    Sencha

    Lunch, afternoon, travel, everyday refreshment.

  • Kimono

    Hojicha

    When you want something mellow, roasted and comforting.

Kimono is built to belong in your day, not just in your occasional treat.

Another Ritual

There's more than one way to start the day.

For generations, coffee has defined the American morning. In Japan, tea has long occupied its own place in everyday life.

Kimono brings another ritual to the modern refrigerator.

  • Matcha when you want something vibrant.
  • Sencha when you want something clean and refreshing.
  • Hojicha when you want something mellow and roasted.

Tea for whatever the day brings.

Kimono Tea brings the beauty and simplicity of Japanese tea into a form created for everyday life.

  • Morning
  • Work
  • Travel
  • Lunch
  • Afternoon pause
  • Dinner

Any moment that deserves something better.

The Name

Why Kimono?

A kimono is more than clothing. Its patterns, colors, materials and craftsmanship can reflect season, occasion, place and generations of tradition.

We chose the name Kimono because we hope to bring that same respect for beauty, detail and heritage to Japanese tea.

Kimono Tea is our invitation to experience a small piece of Japan in everyday life.

Inspired by Japan.Created with admiration for its tea culture, craftsmanship and traditions.

Our Journey to Kimono

Kimono Tea began with a father and son and a connection to Japan that spans decades.

Across those years, one simple part of Japanese life kept returning: tea.
