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's seasonal letter: Special edition
Toridoriの季節便り・特別編
Harvest season for safflower dyers
半夏生の紅花しごと
Hi, friends! How are you doing?
To add a spoonful of seasonality in your tea cup, I am writing a small seasonal letter every month. This time, it is a special edition featuring "Hangesho (半夏生)" — the important season for safflower dyers in Japan.
The history of safflower dye is older than Japanese tea. For centuries, Japanese people have been dyeing beautiful red textile using safflower and "ubai (烏梅)", the small black ingredient made by Japanese prum.
In the traditional Japanese calendar, the period between July 2 to 6 is called "Hangesho (半夏生)". For safflower dyers, this is the season for harvesting safflower petals and Japanese prum fruits to prepare for their next dye works.
