recharge and get back out in the sun.

A blend of Chinese & Japanese tea leaves and jasmine flowers has been Okinawa’s
tea of choice for centuries. Incredibly refreshing both hot or iced, its low
caffeine content makes it the perfect tea for any time of day. Mildly sweet, it
complements any kind of treat.

The checkerboard pattern is known as ‘Ichimatsu’ in Japanese, its unbroken - and
endlessness signifies prosperity.

2022 August Sata Andagi Brown Sugar Donut

Yet another example of the Okinawan language, this traditional dessert for
auspicious occasions is an Okinawa favorite. ‘Sata’ means sugar and ‘andagi’
stands for deep-fried. We recommend trying them warmed up with a cup of tea.

Japan’s favorite sweet Okinawa souvenir, chinsuko cookies, have been around for
centuries and were once reserved for royalty. By combining mineral rich snow
salt from Miyako island with creamy milk, this version perfectly balances salty
and sweet.

Moist cheesecake dough meets sweet and sour blueberry jam in this mini tart.
Excellent with a cup of tea to balance the sweetness.

Despite its small size, Ogimi Village produces an impressive amount of different
goods. Cinnamon might be a rather unexpected one, but the village is home to
many cinnamon trees well over 100 years old. Usually cinnamon is made from the
bark, but in Ogimi the leaves are used instead, as they also possess a high
amount of flavor and aroma, protecting the valuable trees.

Paired with plenty of brown sugar, this cookie is guaranteed to be an afternoon
tea highlight.

When shikuwasa are left to fully ripen, their skin turns from deep green to a
golden yellow and their tanginess increases. These fruits are called ‘Kugani’,
literally gold. Kugani grown in Ogimi village are wrapped in rich dough for this
manju, perfectly balancing sour and sweet while leaving you refreshed.

Karinto is one of Japan’s oldest brown sugar sweets. Honey is added to the
sugar, achieving just the right amount of sweet crunchiness.

The rich characteristic taste of Okinawa brown sugar meets fluffy and moist
dough. Perfect to recharge with for an afternoon snack.

2022 August Tannafakuru Brown Sugar Cookie

This soft cookie is named after its creator ‘Tannafa’, and the Okinawan word for
black, ‘kuru’. Rich in Okinawa brown sugar, we recommend it alongside a cup of
tea for a moment of peace.

This month we want to share Okinawa’s atmosphere and sweet delights with you, through a mix of traditional confectioneries, snacks and of course tea.

With all its islands united as the Ryukyu kingdom in 1429, Okinawa developed its own unique culture blending elements of surrounding Japan, China and Taiwan.

Small Okinawa communities like Ogimi Village continue to produce local specialties like shikuwasa limes, brown sugar and cinnamon perfect for sweets.

Japan’s Okinawa islands are known for their beautiful landscape, community spirit and rich food culture.
