About Us

BRAND STORY >

 

Our company's founding aspiration is encapsulated in this Tanka poem: "A bowl of tea bonding hearts - a green bridge to build peace"(written by Donno). The core belief of our original founder—that "tea plays the role of a lubricant that facilitates connections between people"—continues to be passed down and whispered from person to person as our unchanging, fundamental value.
