Why Choose Kagoshima Tea?

Kagoshima prefecture is like heaven on earth for producing exceptional tea. In fact, it’s the second leading producer of Japanese green tea in Japan. This is because it has the perfect climate. With southerly ocean breezes that provide a sub-tropical climate that makes the weather comfortable all year long. Combined with a nearby volcano that has covered the area with volcanic ash—producing extremely fertile, nutrient-dense soils. Altogether, this climate yields exceptionally smooth, beautiful, and robust green tea flavors.

In order to import certain goods into a country, various requirements need to be fulfilled. This is obligatory for each of your imports.

But do not worry—we will happily help you every step of the way to ensure that your order arrives hassle-free!
