Green tea

緑茶

Non-oxydized tea characterized with its green color. It is the biggest and the most diverse category of Japanese tea. A wide range of taste profiles are the results of the variations in both cultivation and processing methods, reflecting our history of tea and regional cultures.

Black tea

紅茶

Fully oxydized tea known as "black tea" in the Western world. The Japanese term means "red tea" because of the reddish color of its infusion. The term "和紅茶 wakocha" stands for Japanese black tea, which creates another unique world of Japanese tea.

Oolong tea

烏龍茶

Partially oxydized tea which has the name of "烏龍(black dragon)" in Chinese – the infusion is as black as a crow's feather and the curly leaf resembles a dragon. The color of crow's feather ("烏羽色 karasuba-iro") is one of the traditional colors in Japan, and it is very dark purple. Japanese oolong tea ("oolongcha") is growing in the recent years.

In persuit of the real terroir.

ほんとうのテロワールを求めて

The word "terroir" means the taste of that land. And this is strongly connected to the land where the tea plants grow and the people who make the tea. The unique story of each cup of tea is a beautiful collaboration of human hand and nature power, and this is very important to us.

For this perspective, agricultural inputs — especially fertilizers and agrochemicals (herbicides and alike) — have a very strong influence on the cup of tea. Therefore, we make sure that all of our teas come from the farm without any agrochemicals and with minimal fertilization, without any use of chemical fertilizers.

By doing so, our teas strongly reflect the taste of that land — the terroir.
