What Is HOKKAIDO TEA?
HOKKAIDO TEA is a non-alcoholic tea that can be enjoyed like wine, born from leaves grown healthily in Hokkaido's vineyards.

● Tea made from wine grape leaves
● Sustainable ingredients
● Non-alcoholic and caffeine-free
● Flavor explored through oxidative fermentation
With these characteristics, it is an extremely unique tea.
