Stories behind our tea: what hojicha is, where our matcha grows, and what makes each cup distinctive.
Our Tea
By Vale Staff
Hojicha is Japanese green tea, roasted until it turns nutty and toasty. Here is how it tastes, how much caffeine it has, and how Vale mills it in Seattle.
Vale Farms
By Gavin McFarlane
Washington isn't exactly known as tea country, and that's precisely what makes Vale Farms' work on Whidbey Island so interesting.
In Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island, Gavin McFarlane is doing something almost nobody else in Washington is doing: growing tea.
Our Matcha
A century of organic farming in Kakegawa, a distinctive deep-steamed style, and a flavor profile built for how we drink matcha.
