Hi, thank you for your interest in my web site of organic teas. My name is Kazuko. I grew up in the Shizuoka area of Japan, which is famous for it's abundance of green tea. When I moved to the U.S., I was always looking for good green tea, but what was available was always disappointing. Soon I started asking my family to send me green tea to keep me happy. This eventually led me to importing it to people who were looking for excellent green tea.
Although green tea is part of the history of every day life of Japan, here in America there is a new interest about green tea. Most of this is due to studies done in many countries showing green tea as an exemplary health aid and cancer fighter. As I began looking at the possibilities of importing green tea, I realized that in my quest to deliver the finest product in quality and health benefits, I would only import certified organic tea.
This created a dilemma since most tea growers in Japan use conventional farming methods using pesticides. It took a bit of work to locate certified organic farmers, and from there to choose the ones who could continually produce the highest quality of green tea year after year that I would be proud to offer to my customers.
After a while of searching, I found a few family owned tea farms that offered the quality in organic tea that I was looking for. I am very proud to offer this tea to you, and am honored they are confident with having me represent their products.
All our teas are 100% certified organic. We are very proud of the freshness and quality of our products. While they come to you fresh, we recommend keeping them in an airtight container after the bag has been opened. We don't think it's a good idea to store tea in the refrigerator or freezer as that will dry out the leaves, destroying the freshness and wonderful flavor.

Green Tea Lesson
1. Pour boiling water into your teacups. This has a twofold purpose: it cools the water to the proper temperature for tea brewing while warming up the teacups.
2. Add the tea leaves to the empty teapot. We use a little under a level tablespoon for 16 oz. of water.
3. Now pour the water from the cups into the teapot. We find letting the water cool in the teacups about a minute or less gets the right water temperature, (about 170 to 180 degrees for you Dr. Science's out there). Let the tea steep for about 20 seconds, half a minute max.
4. Pour the tea into the cups a bit at a time, this helps even out the taste of the tea into the cups, plus it makes you look like you know what you're doing.
5. go on, drink it
We brew our tea three times with the same batch of tea. This is possible using green tea that is very fresh and high in quality. The second time you brew our tea, follow the directions as above (using the same tea you used the first time) but when you pour the water into your teapot, pour it right out into your cups. Doing this allows you to brew the same batch a third time. When you do this you'll notice how the green leaves open a bit more each time you brew, so that by the time you've brewed your third batch, the leaves are completely open, yet each time you're able to enjoy a perfectly delicious cup of tea.
