What's OKAWARI?

What's OKAWARI?

Welcome to the World of Okawari

There is something special about the Japanese idea of “okawari”.

It means another serving  asking for more because the first one was simply too good to stop at.

For us, Okawari is more than a word. It is a feeling.

It is the feeling of discovering a tea you want to drink again tomorrow. The comfort of your favourite matcha in the morning. The quiet moment of preparing a cup of tea after a long day. And the simple pleasure of sharing something delicious with someone you love.

Welcome to the world of Okawari.

From Japan, to your everyday ritual

Japanese tea has a long history built around craftsmanship, patience, and attention to detail.

From finely ground matcha to fragrant green teas, every tea has its own character. Some are smooth and delicate, some are rich and umami-forward, while others have deeper roasted or earthy notes.

At Okawari, we want to make it easier to discover these flavours and bring them into everyday life.

You don't need to be a tea expert.

You don't need a special occasion.

Sometimes, all you need is a bowl, a whisk, some good matcha — and a few quiet minutes for yourself.

More than matcha

Matcha may be where many people discover Japanese tea, but there is a whole world beyond it.

Japanese tea comes in many forms, each with its own personality.

Sencha can be fresh, vibrant, and refreshing.

Hojicha is roasted, warm, and comforting, with a naturally nutty character.

Genmaicha combines green tea with roasted rice for a distinctive, comforting flavour.

And then there is matcha  finely ground tea with a bold colour, concentrated flavour, and unmistakable Japanese identity.

Whether you're completely new to Japanese tea or already have a favourite, there is always something else to discover.

Tea for every kind of moment

We believe tea doesn't have to be complicated.

Maybe your day starts with a matcha latte.

Maybe you want a cup of hojicha while reading in the evening.

Maybe you're looking for a beautiful tea to share with friends.

Or maybe you simply want five minutes without your phone, your emails, or your to-do list.

Tea can become part of those little moments.

That's what we love about it.

The Okawari philosophy

We created Okawari around a simple idea:

If something makes you happy, why not have another?

Another cup.

Another taste.

Another moment.

Another discovery.

Our goal is to bring together Japanese teas, matcha, accessories, and other favourites that make it easy to create your own tea ritual at home.

We care about the experience just as much as the product — from the tea you choose to the way you prepare it and the moment you finally take that first sip.

Discover your Okawari

There is no right way to enjoy tea.

Drink it traditionally.

Make a matcha latte.

Try it iced.

Pair it with something sweet.

Share it with friends.

Or keep the whole cup for yourself.

Start with the tea that catches your eye and explore from there.

Because the world of Japanese tea is a big one — and there is always something new to discover.

Take your time. Make a cup. And when it's finished, maybe you'll want an Okawari.

Welcome to our world.
