Kaori & Weilu — Tea-Infused Sake Collection | 500 bottle Edition

Switzerland's First Tea & Sake Creation

What begins as a collaboration between a Korean tea sommelier and a Switzerland sake producer ends in something neither of us could have made alone. Kaori — Platinum Award winner at the Tokyo Sake Challenge 2026 — is the result of almost one year of shared work, failed batches, and one quiet moment when everything finally aligned.

Kaori × Weilu

🏅 Platinum Award · Tokyo Sake Challenge 2026

Two bottles. One collaboration. An experience designed to be shared.

Kaori (香り) — Fragrance

Taiwanese Oolong Tea meets Japanese Sake

• Alishan High Mountain Oolong × Junmai Sake
• Volume: 750 ml
• ABV: 12%
• Tasting notes: soft florals, mountain air, lingering warmth

Kaori means fragrance in Japanese. The name found us — when Alishan High Mountain Oolong and Junmai Sake finally came together, it opened like flowers. That is exactly what it tasted like.

Weilu (圍爐) — Around the Fire

Taiwanese Black Tea meets Japanese Sake

• Sun Moon Lake Black Tea × Junmai Sake
• Volume: 750 ml
• ABV: 12%
• Tasting notes: warm roasted depth, dark fruit, earthy finish

Weilu means gathering around the fire. Rich, grounding, and quietly complex.

About the Collaboration

KTeaShop × YamaSake. Shane (Korean tea sommelier, Switzerland) and Oliver (Switzerland sake producer, Switzerland). We spent almost one year learning that tea and sake cannot compete — they have to respect each other. Every batch that did not work taught us something. The one that worked taught us everything.
