RokuTea was born in the heart of Zurich, from the conviction of two friends, Nick and Noah: the best moments in everyday life deserve a drink that one enjoys mindfully. Coffee was a part of our daily routine for a long time, and like many, we eventually began looking for an alternative. We wanted something that could become a ritual—a moment to pause, take in the aroma, and savor the experience.

This search led us to Japanese tea culture, which embodies exactly what we had envisioned with its tranquility, care, and respect for craftsmanship. In 2025, we founded RokuTea as a Swiss brand to share this discovery with others.

Hojicha from Shizuoka: The gentle discovery
At the heart of our range is Hojicha, a roasted green tea from Shizuoka Prefecture. Through the roasting process, it loses its astringency, becoming soft and well-rounded. Its flavor profile reveals warm notes of caramel and cocoa, accompanied by a roasted aroma familiar to coffee lovers. It is precisely this sense of familiarity that makes it a perfect companion from a focused morning to a relaxed evening—whether with a cup at your desk, on the sofa, or while chatting with friends.

Matcha from Kagoshima
We have also recently added our Ceremonial Grade First Flush Matcha to our selection. It comes from Kagoshima and is crafted from the Yutakamidori cultivar. Ceremonial Grade denotes the finest quality intended for traditional preparation: a vibrant green powder with a gentle, full-bodied flavor and a subtle sweetness. 

Why "Roku"?
"Roku" (六) is Japanese for six. For us, the number symbolizes balance: between roast and freshness, between vibrancy and calm. It reminds us that good things often arise from equilibrium, and it accompanies every package we send out.

From Zurich
RokuTea is operated from Zurich. This is where our ideas are born, where we maintain contact with our customers, and where the story behind every package is written. We are convinced that quality is created above all through care, and this attitude shapes everything we do.

Our Mission
We want to show that tea can be a modern alternative to coffee: mindful enjoyment where flavor is the focus and every sip deserves a little bit of attention. Once you have discovered how complex tea can taste, you might realize that the path to your new favorite cup is shorter than you think.
