About TYNK
TYNK, established in 2022 under the guidance of herbal pharmacist Shigeko Yoshida, incorporates carefully chosen plant-based ingredients that embody the essence of traditional Japanese herbal medicine. The brand has successfully grown without a physical location through partnerships with various establishments, including hotels and renowned retail spaces, appealing to a wide audience.
As of now, TYNK teas are available at over 70 restaurants nationwide. Their commitment to quality extends to their collaboration with their own herb farm in Nobeoka City, where they cultivate pesticide-free herbs, showcasing a dedication to authenticity from the ground up.
The brand seeks to redefine the perception that “caffeine-free equals bland” and “herbal means unpalatable.” TYNK fans can enjoy unique flavors that challenge these common beliefs, demonstrating that natural can be delicious.
Adding another layer to their offerings, the visual aesthetics of TYNK's branding is crafted by Simon Taylor, known for his work with the global design group Tomato. This attention to design enhances the overall experience, offering not just a product but also an engaging visual narrative.
A Moment to Pause
The philosophy behind TYNK encourages a lifestyle that incorporates moments of calm—small pauses in the day to enjoy the brewing of tea or to savor a cup thoughtfully, promoting a more mindful approach to life.
Inspiring Stories of the Founder
Tynk's founder, Taisuke Tsujita, ventured into this project after years of experience in brand development within the fashion industry. His personal sensitivity to caffeine prompted him to establish TYNK, combining his lifelong knowledge of herbal medicine with international insights into taste and experience.
