Build your tea lineup with confidence

Places

Shizuoka, Kagoshima, and Kyoto are the well-known production areas for Japanese tea, but in reality, tea is grown in 37 of Japan's 47 prefectures, and variations can be enjoyed depending on factors such as climate, topography, and the producer's expertise. For example, in Shizuoka prefecture just for example, different flavors and aromas of tea are produced along the sea coast and in the mountains.

Cultivars

Currently, there are over 120 cultivars of Japanese tea! There are cultivars with a strong umami flavor, cultivars with a strong earthy profile, cultivars with a flowery aroma, and many other characteristics!

Packaging & Label Options

We offer a wide range of packaging styles and colors — from tins and pouches to aluminum inner bags — suitable for retail or wholesale use. In Japan, the tea industry has long evolved alongside specialized makers of tins and packaging materials. By collaborating with these trusted partners, we provide flexible, small-lot packaging services that meet the needs of your business and brand.
