A Set of Four Carefully Selected Green Tea Bases and One Black Tea Base
"Kasei-kyu" offers traditional Beijing and Shanghai cuisine. The artisan teas, previously only available during dining at the restaurant, have been carefully selected, packed into a paulownia box, and are now available as a gift set.
Hand-picked tea leaves are layered one by one by artisans, encasing various flowers such as jasmine, marigold, and roses in different colors and shapes. These artisan teas allow you to simultaneously experience the beautiful contrast of green tea leaves with pink, yellow, and white flowers, the aroma of the enclosed blossoms, and the deep flavor of the tea.
The packages handled this time feature high-quality tea leaves from China's Fujian and Anhui provinces, meticulously crafted by the artisan tea specialty shop "Kroisos." "Kasei-kyu" has selected these products, packaging four types of green tea bases and one type of black tea base, arranged to offer a variety of blooming flowers.

The green tea bases include "Fantasy Rabbit" with jasmine and calendula, "Eclat" with carnation and calendula, and "Oriental Rouge" combining large roses and wild chrysanthemum. The black tea base features the star-shaped "Scarlet Five Stars" with green plum blossoms, all housed in the paulownia box.
After enjoying the tea, the artisan tea can also be used as a table centerpiece as a water flower. Experience a special time enveloped in the beautiful blooming flowers and rich flavors and aromas.
