Today, 18:15 JST Broadcast・SBS "LIVE Shizuoka" Appearance (from approx. 18:25) — "ZEN TEA BREW" Attracts approx. 150 Visitors at 5/5 Takumi-yado Pop-up, 382 Cups Tasted, Introduced on TV as a New Style of Shizuoka Tea

The craft tea cocktail kit "ZEN TEA BREW," developed by Dozo Inc. (1-2 Tenmacho, Aoi-ku, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, 3F, Representative Director: Kohei Miura), will be featured in a special broadcast on SBS "LIVE Shizuoka" today, May 7th (Wednesday), from 18:15 JST (the segment on ZEN TEA BREW is scheduled to air around 18:25 JST).

At its first in-person pop-up held on May 5th (holiday) at Sunpu Takumi-yado Kotokoto STORE in Shizuoka City, approximately 150 people visited. A total of 382 cups were offered for tasting, and 43 kits, accounting for about 30% of visitors, were purchased on the spot. "The cocktails taste delicious precisely because of this tea" — encounters with rare Shizuoka tea leaves such as smoked black tea and Bodhi acid tea fostered deep empathy for the tea x cocktail concept.

Furthermore, a tea cocktail experience workshop is scheduled to be held on May 20th (Tuesday) at a cooking class in Kikugawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Nationwide delivery is also available via the official EC site (https://www.zenteabrew.com).

Theme of today's broadcast on SBS "LIVE Shizuoka" — The New Tea Season and the Future of "Drinking Shizuoka Tea"

The broadcast's theme is "The full-fledged new tea season has arrived. While the global matcha boom continues, we propose a new style for Shizuoka tea as a 'beverage'." While the matcha boom brings benefits, tea farmers who continue to produce sencha (green tea) are finding their place narrowing. Miura, the representative, who is from Shizuoka and has 13 years of experience in North America, states, "We will not give up on the future of drinking tea, and we want to deliver it to the world in a new form."
