We work directly with local farmers to ensure top quality, freshness, and sustainable practices. **Q: How should I store the tea after opening?** A: To preserve green tea, avoid sunlight, heat, humidity, and oxygen. Once opened, store in an opaque, airtight container away from light and heat. Before opening, our nitrogen-flushed packaging helps lock in peak freshness. **Q: Do your teas contain caffeine?** A: Yes, all our teas contain natural caffeine, but levels vary by type and brewing method. For less caffeine, try genmaicha, hojicha, or cold brew, which can significantly reduce caffeine content. **Q: What makes your green tea different?** A: Our tea is made for everyday enjoyment. After rising to the top of Japan’s tea industry, Hiroyuki Sugimoto developed a unique high roast method. We source farm-direct to ensure the leaves can handle this process and deliver rich, consistent flavor. **Q: What are your teabags made of?** A: Our teabags are made of Soilon, a plant-based material derived from starch and designed for disposal through industrial waste systems. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So delicious!!! *by C***P on April 18, 2026* I just love this tea!
