BUSK JAPANESE TEA HOUSE

Two experiences, one little corner of Kuranda 🌿

Did you know BUSK & 4628 Yorozuya are part of the same family?

Two little spots, just a few steps apart — one for Japanese tea, the other for Japanese comfort food. 🍵🍱

Grab your favourite matcha, hojicha or Japanese tea from BUSK, then take it with you and enjoy it alongside your meal from Yorozuya.

Why choose one when you can enjoy both?

Come find our little corner tucked away in the rainforest. 🌿

Hello, September. 2026🌿🍵

A new month begins with a simple cup of Japanese green tea.

This is our Premium Sencha — made from first harvest tea leaves, carefully selected for its beautiful balance of umami, sweetness and fresh green aroma.

Sometimes, the simplest cup is the one you come back to.

Slowly brewed.
Surrounded by the rainforest.
Just the way we like it.

Welcome, September 2026. 🌿

Our regulars are more than customers.
They’re part of BUSK. 🤎

The familiar faces who come back again and again —
for a cup of tea, a little chat, or simply a quiet moment to themselves.

Over time, they become part of the life of this little tea house.

They support us, grow with us, and help make BUSK what it is today.

We’re incredibly grateful for every familiar face that walks through our little tea house in the rainforest. 🌿🍵

Thank you for being part of BUSK.

Thank you so much for Michael , Akasha,Lili and Shinta san🫶🤗🫶
