Inaka (ee-nah-kah) comes from a Japanese word meaning countryside. We chose the name to honor the place where our founder first tried and fell in love with roasted grain teas in the beautiful and serene mountains of Northern Japan. It’s also a nod to our Mississippi roots and a slower pace of life, nostalgia, and hospitality. As you can see, it’s more than a place. Rather a state of mind where you’re relaxed, fulfilled, and feeling at home as you find your Inaka.
