We pick only the very tip —just the bud at the top.That's where our tea begins.

Quality starts with how you pick.

We don't leave it to machines. Instead, we follow the tradition of ichi-shin ni-you — picking only the new bud and the two tender young leaves just below it, one by one, entirely by hand.

It takes time. It takes effort.

But that's okay — we wouldn't have it any other way. ☺️

We are proud to grow tea here in Uji, and we want to keep delivering something we can hand over with confidence — now, and for years to come.

Even after picking, we keep watching.

Once the leaves leave the field, the work isn't over. At every step inside the factory, our team inspects the leaves by hand — carefully removing anything that shouldn't be there, bringing the tea closer and closer to its purest form.

"Tea you can trust" isn't just a label.

It's built by human eyes and human hands, at every stage.

We don't rely on machines alone. Because what we want to deliver isn't anonymous tea — it's tea with a face. Tea where you know exactly who grew it, and how, and why.

That extra care in every step — that's our promise to you.
