Den's Tea is a Japanese company, but they have a store in the US and ship
from there. So, shipping is pretty quick and inexpensive, if you are
located in the US. They made a change a couple of years ago and ship their
teas to the US by air, rather than ship and they are much fresher, and more
expensive than they used to be. The increase in price seems to match the
increase in tea quality. Although, I really enjoyed their teas before the
change also. I've never had a bad batch of tea from them. To me they are
much better than anything I've received from Upton or Special Teas.
