Secret Tea Retreat – TOP

Tea Philosophy / お茶の哲学

香りを、聴く。

Secret Tea Retreat is a place to share the wisdom that tea quietly accumulates over time.
Snow, mist, clear streams, and terraced stone fields—Shirakawa’s terroir becomes a calm outline in the cup.
We choose clarity over intensity, offering a slow experience where the season gently unfolds through aroma.

Secret Tea Retreat は、何をつくるかよりも、なぜ・どう生きるかを大切にする場所です。
共に・知り・思い・共感からお茶と時間のために開いています。

Seasonal Terroir / 季節のテロワール

白からはじまり、香りになる。

白川の紅茶は、季節がゆっくりと積み重なる土地で育ちます。
冬の“白”から、芽吹きの淡緑、そして深まる香りへ——その移ろいを、和紅茶の味わいとして届けます。 Shirakawa tea grows where seasons layer slowly. From winter’s white to the first green buds, then into deeper aroma—this transition becomes the taste of Japanese black tea.

Snow-grown Winter

雪に眠る茶畑

Winter to early spring. Cold air and snow grant the tea plants a quiet rest.
This white is not emptiness—it is preparation, storing aroma and sweetness for what comes next.

Snowmelt Early Spring

雪は水へ、霧は光へ

As snow becomes clear water and mist rises, white softens into off-white, then a hint of green.
The outline of aroma slowly awakens.

First Flush Spring

一番茶の透明感

When new buds arrive, aroma becomes delicate, the finish turns clear, and sweetness moves gently forward.
A cup that holds the transparent beginning of spring.

Second Flush Early Summer

深まる香り、穏やかなボディ

Second flush. The mountain clarity remains, while aroma and body deepen slightly.
Astringency stays restrained, leaving a rounded finish—this is Shirakawa’s signature foundation.
