About Ito En Gift Shop

For over four decades, we’ve been sharing our tea expertise with the people of Japan with a diverse line of products, using only the highest quality ingredients. In 2002 we brought our knowledge of tea culture and dedication to quality ingredients to the US. We set up shop in Brooklyn, where we continue to create unique teas using traditional as well as innovative techniques, flavors, and ingredients in hopes of educating and continuing to share Japanese tea culture with the world.

Deeply embedded in Japanese history, a large part of tea culture is the elegant ritual of making and enjoying it with friends and loved ones, often surrounding celebrations and special occasions, and what better time to celebrate than the holidays?!

Tea has been traditionally gifted as a symbolic gesture of good health and best wishes in Asian cultures for centuries, so our first ever Holiday Collection, blended and packaged here in Brooklyn, was curated to continue this gifting tradition with a unique line of limited edition products that celebrate the warming sensations and flavors of the season.

Each tea in the collection, from herbal tisane to ceremonial matcha, offers a unique experience. It’s a one-stop-shop for everyone on your list, from the avid tea-lover to the tea novice—or just treat yourself! The unique limited-edition blends are meant to be enjoyed all season long.
