 -Bringing Authentic Japanese Matcha and Green Tea to the World

A Life-Changing Sip of Green Tea

I was born and raised in Chiba, Japan, just a short distance from Tokyo. Though I had always enjoyed high-quality green tea, my first visit to my husband’s hometown in Kakegawa, Shizuoka, completely changed my perspective.

The moment I took my first sip, I was amazed.
“This tea is incredible! So refreshing, yet rich in flavor. And the aroma is simply wonderful.”

I had always been particular about choosing high-quality green tea, but Kakegawa tea was unlike anything I had ever tasted before.
Its deep, aromatic flavor and rich umami made it a completely new green tea experience for me.

The Best Green Tea and Matcha Come from Shizuoka

As a professional writer, I started my career in magazine editorial before transitioning into advertising as a copywriter. Through my work, I had the opportunity to interview Japanese tea farmers and discovered something surprising:

Shizuoka produces some of the world’s highest-quality green tea, crafted with meticulous care and traditional expertise.
Yet, many farmers simply sell their tea quietly, without global recognition.

Sharing Kakegawa Tea with the World

After moving to Germany with my husband, I brought plenty of Kakegawa tea with me. When I shared it with my Japanese friends, their reactions were the same:
“This is the best tea I’ve had in years!”
“The aroma is amazing!”
“I didn’t know green tea could taste this good!”

Even among Japanese people, few truly know about Kakegawa tea, despite Shizuoka being Japan’s most famous tea region. Such an extraordinary tea deserves to be enjoyed worldwide!
