Japanese Tea Tasting

We carry the best Japanese tea you can offer in the United States. The family we work with has manufactured tea for multiple generations and received multiple awards for their tea’s quality. And it’s always a treat to sit down and talk one on one with your tea source. So when we had the opportunity, we took it! A visit to Seattle opened the door for a tea tasting, and we jumped on it!

We tasted genmaicha and sencha gong fu style and relished every bit of it. It was great to meet Noli for the first time and Kyohei again. Some of you might know that I met Kyohei on a bus while in Long Beach, California! We started talking, and it was then that I learned that his family makes tea in Japan! Our tea relationship grew from that first meeting.

Thank you for such great tea! Kyohei’s family has manufactured tea for three generations and produced a premium product. The flavor is consistent, and the teas stand on their own. We are proud to offer such fine products in Missoula, Montana at the tea shop. Pictured is Sencha Tea Tasting.

I had a friend share some of their instant golden latte mix with me and it is amazing. I suffer from really bad inflammation in my hands and this calms it down so well. It is also very delicious so I just had to get some of my own. They also sent me some stickers, a nice note and a sample. It was so sweet. My cat definitely approves. Thank you!

I've been going to Lake Missoula Tea Company for years, and recently have had the privilege of putting some of their tea in my store. The quality of the tea is fantastic, and the blends are delightful. I have also attended one of their tasting / learning events and it was great. I highly recommend their downtown store for meeting with friends, family or even just for a nice place to go and have a cup of perfectly brewed tea.

Best store in Montana possibly in all of the United States. I don't know. This is the first Gong Fu tea shop I've ever been to. I came in for a matcha whisk because I donated mine to a museum. Before I left a random customer who was introduced to me as a regular bought me tea. I hugged him which isn't something I normally do. But I was incredibly thankful. Then the man behind the counter gave me a free sample. I went in looking for a simple tool and left with tea and a happy spirit. I am looking forward to making it back as soon as possible! I loved it. I think it will always hold a special place in my blood pumping organ.
