CHANOMA provides educational information about Japanese tea, teaware, brewing and buying. It is not health, medical, nutrition or legal advice.
No health or medical claims
We describe tea — origin, cultivar, processing, taste, brewing — and do not make or endorse claims about health effects, weight loss, or the prevention or treatment of any condition. Questions about caffeine, diet or health belong with a qualified professional.
Prices, stock & product facts change
Prices, availability, release dates and harvest information change constantly. Any figure here is a snapshot, not a live reading: our rule is that a price is published with the date it was checked (shown as 'as of'), and where a figure cannot be dated the page says so rather than presenting it as current. The vendor's or maker's own page is the live truth. Where a figure cannot be verified at all, we link to the official source instead of guessing a number.
Brewing guidance is a range, not a rule
Temperatures, times and amounts shown on this site (including the /brew timer) are typical ranges. Your tea's own packet instructions take precedence.
Affiliate links & ads
The site contains third-party links and ads. It contains no affiliate links today — links to retailers are plain links and we earn nothing if you use them. Our standing rule, for if that changes: affiliate links are disclosed directly with the links and marked rel="sponsored", and any commission is at no extra cost to you and never changes what we recommend. We are not responsible for third-party content, pricing, or fulfilment.
Liability
We accept no liability for any loss arising from use of this site.
