Finally,
Japanese green tea is not just a healthy and satisfying beverage: it is also all about the people behind it. Generations of tea farmers and specialists
who, today, must fight to preserve something special, that demands hard work,
time, know-how and dedication in a world that seems to have no longer any patience for that.
At IKKYU, we recognize the
incredible importance and value of such efforts, and this is why we are proud to help those devoted farmers reach out to a foreign audience who has still so much to learn about green
tea.
Yes, we sell green tea, but through that, we also hope to support local communities with our efforts, at a time when domestic demand is decreasing
because of the aging of Japanese society.
We hope to have a positive social impact with our work, and that our customers will also see the human value found in their delicious cup of tea.
Through the
stories of the producers working with us, through our pictures and testimonials, we wish to introduce
you to a lesser known Japan, full of wonders and traditions that can inspire
all of us.
