September 1st Price Updates
Over the past year, the Japanese tea industry has faced significant changes, including rising tea material costs and new tariffs on Japanese goods shipped to the U.S.
For more background, please see this message from Ippodo’s president released last month. Read the announcement
At Ippodotea.com, which ships from our U.S. warehouse, these factors have had a substantial impact. In order to continue delivering the quality you expect, we have adjusted prices on many items effective September 1.
