We began producing tea without pesticides in 1970 (48 years ago) out of a desire
to contribute to people’s health and maintain a clean environment for future generations.
We do not prioritize a nice appearance or the ability to produce mass quantities;
instead we deliver organically farmed tea under the concept of organic produce
that is friendly on both the body and the environment. Today, in addition to
our many customers in Japan, people in 31 countries in America, Europe and elsewhere
drink our organically farmed tea.
We have organic JAS certification. In addition, we employ a pesticide residue
analysis and bacteria inspection check system. We have also received
ISO22000*certification to respond to food safety that has been growing as a concern
in recent years. This means that we have set up a structure that can actually prove
safety and security at a glance. With this, we are putting into practice various
efforts toward the stable supply of authentic organic tea that everyone can use with
confidence.
We will continue to work hard while always treasuring the philosophy of our founder
Aijiro Nagata – “a desire to contribute to people’s health and maintain a clean
environment for future generations through tea.”
*We plan to acquire FSSC22000 certification in the fall of 2019.
