Traceability
From its beginning the Kagoshima Tea Producers Association has set very high standards for the traceability of its tea production and distribution via its tightly regulated and computerized wholesale marketplace located in Kagoshima City. The green tea products offered at KagoshimaTea.com are 100% traceable. We know precisely where our products come from and exactly what goes into every package you receive.
Excellent Taste
Our customers often comment to us about the light and refreshing taste of Kagoshima Green Teas along with the subtle and complex flavors of the various products. Strong, bitter and overpowering taste reports are unheard of.
Cleanliness & Safety
All our suppliers are certified by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). This is important during a time when there is considerable concern for food safety worldwide. To receive certification tea producers must comply with strict standards for cleanliness, safety and good management practices. Learn more about the ISO at http://www.iso.org/iso/home.htm.
Quality & Selection
KagoshimaTea.com is the first and only English language business to offer a complete selection of high quality green teas grown exclusively in Kagoshima Prefecture. Our products are sourced directly from the leading Kagoshima tea farmers and producers via our buying office located in Japan. Third party distributors are never involved. Further, we work closely with our suppliers to keep quality standards consistently high. The products we ship to our customers meet high standards of excellence.
Guaranteed Satisfaction
If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with any of our consumer-packaged products, please provide us with your purchase information, and we will, without question, give you a full and unconditional refund (excluding applicable shipping fees). There is no need to return the product. You may make use of it as you desire. We reserve the right to limit future sales to anyone who takes unfair advantage of this generous privilege. "SAVE 25%" retail purchases and wholesale orders are not included in our Guaranteed Satisfaction policy.
Very Competitive Prices
KagoshimaTea.com does not depend on excessive profit by charging high prices. Our success derives from satisfied customers who continuously return to make repeat purchases. In turn, we purchase in large quantities at true wholesale prices directly from our suppliers and pass the savings along to you. Because our buying office is located in Japan, it is not necessary for us to make costly overseas buying trips which add to the selling price of your tea. Please compare prices before you make your purchase decision and you will find we sell for less, in many cases significantly less, than our competitors for the same or very similar products.
