What is SAJIN?

We are really proud to be able to provide high quality, premium Green Tea from growing regions all over Japan. More so, being able to share our love for Green Tea and help others Fill Their Cup is really rewarding.
 
SAJIN exists to help you slow down & find your breath. We all get stressed, we get busy, we get burnt out - it's simply a part of life. We want to be the best we can be for those we love - however how often do we stop to recharge & re-focus...in order to give our best. You can't pour from an empty vessel, so we must take time back for ourselves, even a few minutes of calm can be enough. 

fill your cup.

simply the act of taking back your time, even if its just a moment. This can be your at home Yoga session before anyone else is awake, an afternoon walk or meditation, or even just a simple as the purposeful process of brewing the perfect cup of tea 

Our Partner in Japan - Yuji Yamakita

We are lucky to work directly with Yuji Yamakita who is based in Japan. Yuji has been deeply involved in the Japanese tea business for almost 2 decades and has formed strong relationships with the tea farmers and producers in the region. He hand selects all of our tea, from seed to harvest and ensures all of our tea is of the highest premium quality. He also operates his own tea brand Hokuzan.

About Us - Justin, Taq

We are two friends brought together over our love of Green Tea, good vibes & human connection. 

Taq was born in Kyoto, Japan, as such was immersed into Green Tea culture. The proper way to prepare & respect was steeped (pardon the pun) into him at a young age by his mother & grandmother. Justin on the other hand was born in Scotland and was drinking Orange Pekoe in his milk bottle from before he could walk.

Somehow from opposite ends of the earth, we met in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦  - and vibed almost immediately. Bonding over their appreciation of Green Tea, mindfullness & self care - the idea of starting our own brand focused on these values seemed obvious. 

We are so grateful to have you as part of our community. Thank you for being here. 🤍
