Our Story
Inspired by Japan.
Why Kimono
A name chosen carefully.
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
A father and son.
Kimono Tea began with a father and son and a connection to Japan that spans decades.
One of our founders lived in Japan for nine years, and Japan remained an important part of family life long after he returned home. His son grew up surrounded by that connection and later traveled in Japan himself.
Across those years, one simple part of Japanese life kept returning: tea.
Tea could be ceremonial, but it could also be wonderfully ordinary — shared over conversation, served with a meal, offered to a guest, or enjoyed quietly during the day.
As matcha began reaching a new generation of drinkers around the world, we started wondering whether there was an opportunity to create something broader.
Not simply a matcha drink. A modern Japanese tea brand.
Matcha. Hojicha. Sencha.Different teas for different moments, connected by a culture that has spent centuries refining and appreciating tea.
That idea became Kimono Tea. Japanese Tea for Modern Life.
Created by a father-and-son teamwith gratitude for the country and culture that inspired it.
