Cultivation at our own farm
We own and operate our own tea farm in Nara Prefecture, specializing in matcha.
The main variety is Yabukita. The new shoots are covered to develop their flavor and harvested at the right time. The leaves are steamed and processed into tencha, which is then slowly ground in a slow stone mill to bring out the fine texture and deep green color.
To maintain freshness, the product is stored at low temperatures, only the required amount is ground, and shipped under nitrogen.
We carry out strict lot management and pesticide residue testing to deliver matcha of consistent quality.
Export and OEM
We distribute high-quality tea to partner companies and wholesalers, mainly in the United States and Europe.
We offer a diverse lineup of teas to suit local markets and tastes, including matcha, sencha, hojicha, genmaicha, and Japanese black tea.
In addition, we use the tea leaves harvested from our own tea farms and contracted farms to produce our own original brand of tea,
We can also handle planning including package design and OEM orders for small lots.
Our strength is our ability to flexibly propose products that meet the needs of our wholesalers, from ingredients for beverages, confectionery, and restaurants to gift items.
