“Producing and selling high quality, reliable and safe 100% pure premium Kawanecha” is our strategy which has been taken over from our 1st generation. We also make only “Sencha”, authentic tea style.
Selected contracted local farmers who have been working with us for long time are our business partner; they take care of our tea farms and provide their tea produced at their tea farms.
We blend the tea from each our farmers and make the complex, high quality tea.
Gifted geographic condition can make high-end tea without using less pesticide, on the other hand, only limited amount of quantity can produce; hand picking the tea leaves is the main method to harvest.
Uniqueness of our tea is:
*Tea water color is not green, golden yellow
*Well balanced sweetness and Astringency
*Refreshing aroma
*Very refreshing after mouth
