To unlock the full potential inherent in every leaf, we do not rely solely on machinery; instead, we engage with the tea by sharpening our five senses. By "listening" to the tea leaves and overseeing every stage of the process, we deliver tea that truly lives up to its Grand Gold Medal reputation.

I specialize in "Hi-ire" (fire-finishing), the critical process that defines a tea's flavor and aroma. Rather than relying on automated machinery, I maintain meticulous temperature control tailored to the specific condition of each day's leaves. This allows me to maximize the natural umami and fragrance inherent in the tea.
Tea is both familiar and profound. By conveying this balance, we hope to provide an opportunity for everyone to enjoy tea more deeply.
Through tea, we strive to help people escape from their busy lives and find peace of mind.
