An original blend for Cafe Madoroom, produced by Saori Ishimaru, a British-trained medical herbalist who lives on Amami Oshima. As you take your time, the tea’s color and taste change markedly.
The handiwork of a medical herbalist
Saori Ishimaru qualified as a medical herbalist in the British tradition. She now lives on Amami Oshima, carrying on work that values the relationship between plants and people.
Britain’s rich herbal culture, and the strength of the plants that Amami’s nature grows. It took someone who knows both to create the blends made for Madoroom. The first of them was Breath of Sunlight(陽だまりの息吹).
as time goes by.
An original blend made for Cafe Madoroom’s concept.
A blend for drowsy, unhurried hours
From the moment it is poured, Breath of Sunlight keeps changing its expression. At first, a bright and floral scent. A little later, something deeper and calmer. And even once it cools, a gentle finish stays with you.
Reading by the window, lost in thought, and before you know it, dozing off. Saori Ishimaru blended it with care, as a cup to keep quiet company with that kind of Madoroom time.
Three blends
Madoroom now has three blends by Saori Ishimaru.
Breath of Sunlight(陽だまりの息吹)is built around German chamomile, layered with echinacea and sage. It settles you, then little by little changes its expression. Served hot only.
Where the Circling Leads(巡りの行きさき)brings together tankan peel, Ceylon cinnamon, lemon balm and rose. It keeps you company as you drink yourself back into balance. Hot or iced.
Path of the Fragrant Breeze(薫風の通り道)is a summer blend of lemongrass, rosehip and raspberry leaf. A freshness that passes straight through. Light on your feet, on to the next place. Iced only.
Staying, settling, setting off. Set the three side by side, and there it is — the very time you spend at Madoroom.
