Our Producer's Environmental & Human Commitments (ETP)
Dramatic economic development in the 20th century has created a cycle of mass production, mass consumption, and mass generation of waste. Reflecting on this situation, we wished to work with a company as committed to the environment as it was to producing a healthy, fresh project. Moreover, because we offered some superior tea products from developing countries outside of Japan we wanted to be sure workers were treated ethically and with diginity and chose a manufacturer that was part of the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP)
Our Producer's Commitment to Tea Research
Our producer divides its research and development between two internal organizations: The Central Research Institute concentrates mainly on medium- to long-term activities involving the active ingredients of tea leaves and development of a variety of new technologies. The product development division handles short-term R&D using production and agricultural technologies to develop new products and improve existing ones.
