story behind our name "Kaori"

Aroma is an integral part of tea enjoyment at Kaori.  Have you heard that there is relationship between aroma and our feelings?  One of the most commonly known derivatives of this may be "aromatherapy".  Research indicates that "ninety percent of what is perceived as taste is actually smell"¹.  Our name "Kaori" [kah-oh-ree] simply means aroma inJapan, where formal tea ceremony was established.  The Japanese art of serving and drinking tea integrates essential principals to people's daily lives.  While we do not view tea as a formal beverage, we certainly hope that you will find our aromas integrate to your lifestyle.
