Who are we?

Blending skill

Exceptional craftsmanship

Blending skill is essential for bringing the best out of teas.
Blending is not about masking defects of flavor, but it is a very important process for stabilizing “taste, aroma, color, and shape” of teas so that we can produce the best quality teas.

New crops are going to be ready for the harvest around the end of April, and there will be a lot of people working in the early morning in Kakegawa. Managing the plantations is all about achieving a high yield at the harvest, however, the amount harvested and the taste depend on the climate condition of each season.

It is essential to keep a balanced taste with consistent quality, without spoiling the characteristic of each tea leaf, when processing teas. This is the secret for constantly producing great quality teas and requires a mastery skill.

Blending skills determine the taste of our teas and reflect on a tea master’s ability. You need to take the weather condition into consideration, and of course your experience and instinct are just as important to understand the characteristics of teas so that you are able to blend effectively to create our well balanced original tea.
