About Toridori.

Toridoriについて

Toridori is a tea brand that introduces you to the fascinating world of Japanese tea. We took our name "Toridori" from an old Japanese term "toridori-nari (とりどりなり)" — "many different things" — to persue various faces of Japanese tea and to spread its charms in Belgium.

The story of Toridori started in 2022, when Erina encountered three people in Japan and in Belgium: her old home and new home.

TORIDORI SEASONAL LETTER 06.

Hi, friends! How are you doing? 

To add a spoonful of seasonality in your cup, I am writing a small seasonal letter every month. 

My sixth letter features the Belgium's beautiful natural herritage at the North Sea: the coastal dunes.

Sea buckthorn (Duindoorn in Dutch) is one of the native plants in this rather rare biome, which used to cover the entire coastal line of the Belgian North Sea. During the late August to October, this plant decorates the dunes with its beautiful orange fruits.

I saw the coastal dunes for the first time when I came to Belgium, and it was around this time of the year. Since then, I have a special affection to this beautiful contrast of the blue sea, white sand, and orange duindoorn at the North Sea.
