How we make our tea

Fragrant tea starts with the raw leaf. Our finished teas are made in these steps.

1. 01

   Select

   Our president visits the market himself to choose aracha (unrefined tea) with an outstanding aroma.

2. 02

   Blend

   In our blending room, we combine dozens of kinds of aracha — about 3 tonnes a day — into consistent quality.

3. 03

   Sort

   Sorting and cutting machines shape the leaf, stems are separated, and an optical color sorter checks it again.

4. 04

   Fire

   To recreate the aroma of traditional charcoal roasting, we roast for twice the usual time on our own original roasting machine. We use gas and microwave far-infrared firing to match requests on taste and liquor color.

Hygiene and safety

• We disinfect, use air showers, and clean and inspect our machines every day.
• We check our process every day against HACCP’s 7 principles and 12 steps.
• Before packing, foreign matter is removed by machine and by visual inspection.
• Monthly audits and study sessions keep improving our process.
• In 2024 we completed a packaging plant with rooms for pouches and tea bags.
