Kitamura Tea Company is a family-owned green tea producer that has specialized in organic tea since 1969. They have grown tea on a plantation on a mountain 360 meters (1,181 ft.) above sea level in Nagasaki Prefecture and process harvested tea on site to ensure the highest and safest quality. Their single-origin, 100% organic green tea is highly regarded in Japan, and is finally being imported to the U.S. this spring. Mr. Chikaji Kitamura, founder of Kitamura Tea Company, started growing truly organic tea with neither agricultural chemicals nor chemical fertilizers even when organic agriculture was overlooked. He strived for 8 years until he established his method. Today, their brand, Tea Kitamura, is in high demand throughout Japan. Tea Kitamura’s items available in the U.S. include green tea, green tea blended with matcha powder, hojicha (roast tea) in the forms of loose-leaf tea and teabags as well as matcha. Currently, they are available at four locations of Sunrise Mart and online. Free shipping is applied for Chopsticks NY readers. Enter a code FREESHIPCSNY at checkout to enjoy the offer.
