Story

Triangle Accent

Sourced from the Hamada family in Kagoshima, Japan, this spring harvest offering uses a light steaming process to allow the natural fresh flavor of the tea to shine.

Extremely fresh, grassy, oceanic notes mingle with pine resin, toasty grapefruit seed, and daffodil.

Details

The Hamada family has been making tea for three generations in Chiran, which is one of the best and largest tea producing regions in Japan. The first plucking, which occurs during the first 80 days of Spring, contains more antioxidants and flavor than later harvests. This first plucking is much sought after and revered in Japanese culture. The steaming process is called Asamushi (light steaming), which allows the natural flavor of this tea to shine.

Quick Brew

  • Heat water to 175°F-180°F
  • 1 tbsp / 8 fl. oz. cup

Taking Good Care of Our Coffee, Our People, Our Farmers, Our Planet

Established in 2010 in downtown Floyd, VA (pop 432), Red Rooster was created with the simple notion of roasting excellent coffee for the owner’s existing coffee house. Soon, word of Red Rooster's quality spread around Virginia and up and down the East Coast.

Today, we employ 30 people while roasting some of the best coffee in the world. We are also the only coffee company in the country with a licensed on-site childcare facility for our employee's children.

While we've won numerous awards and accolades for our coffee quality, our true passion is in making a positive social impact both at home and abroad at the coffee's origin.
