Our Policy

Takezawa Seicha is a family owned wholesale and processing company for homegrown Japanese green tea. We specialize in premium regional conventional Japanese green tea from the main tea producing regions in Japan and premium organic Japanese green tea from a single estate organic farm in Kagoshima.

We work only with farms which we are confident of the quality of the teas they produce, their safe and ethical cultivation methods and their reliable stable supply. We emphasize on fostering a strong and long-term working relationships with farms that we work with as this is our only way of ensuring stable quality and supply.

With all requirements for product quality and safety met, we are fully confident that we can assist all wholesale and retail companies to grow in their tea businesses.

Organic Teas

All our organic teas, Matcha and loose leaf teas, are cultivated on a single estate organic farm in Kagoshima, the second largest tea producing region after Shizuoka. The teas are grown in forested areas, about 500 meters above sea level, home to plenty of wildlife. The vast lands, high altitude, abundant sunshine and rain, dense fog, big difference in day and night temperatures, are some of the many natural environmental factors characteristic of Kagoshima which contributes to the premium quality of our organic teas, not forgetting the endless efforts puts in by our farmer in cultivating safe, quality organic teas through his comprehensive soil management and absolutely chemical-free organic farming.
