By meeting face-to-face with exemplary tea farmers and skilled wholesalers—such as those in Hioki City and the Ei area of Minamikyushu City—who practice sustainable cultivation, and by personally verifying the growth of the tea leaves and the atmosphere on-site, we build unwavering relationships of trust with producers and ensure a stable, year-round supply.

Commitment to quality and safety
1. Warm climate and abundant sunshine
Located in the southern part of Japan, Kagoshima is warm and sunny throughout the year, and is characterized by thick, firm tea leaves. As a result, matcha with a mellow flavor and a good balance of umami components (theanine) and color (chlorophyll) is produced.
2. Mineral-rich soil from volcanic soil
Kuroboku soil (volcanic ash soil)** derived from volcanoes such as Sakurajima has a good balance of drainage and water retention, making it ideal for tea cultivation. The nutrient-rich soil fosters a deep flavor and vivid green color.
3. High agricultural technology and stable production volume
By 2025, Kagoshima Prefecture had become Japan's leading tea-producing region (accounting for approximately 44% of the total output of major producing prefectures), with significant production of *tencha* (the raw material for matcha).
Producers excel in mechanization and cultivation management techniques, offering a major advantage for buyers: the ability to consistently supply high-quality tea.
Types of matcha available
You can choose the matcha that best suits your needs.
