Our Mission
Exclusive Japanese Tea Making Process in Kyoto, Japan
A Focus on Quality
Maiko tea is particular about quality because Mr. Yamashita, our aunt, is a legend of world Japanese tea.
Mr. Yamashita won the "Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries" first prize for the Kansai region 11 times and he showed the Teamaster Temomi-skill to Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of Japan.
Now his grand son Shinki is taking over his techniques and keep working hard to deliver delicious cups to you.
In order to check the each condition of tea leaves we are using the smallest machines which we need to adjust by manually. We are not using automated machine because each tea has different characters, so we need to see manually and adjust by traditional Japanese tea master skill which we are taking over generations.
