About Ippoen Kyoto

Ever since our company was founded in 1945, our aim has been to offer people happiness through fine tea.
To carry forward our corporate vision, 40 years ago when no one in Japan knew or cared about the importance of organic food, our chairman, Kazumasa Shimizu, went everywhere searching for tea farmers who produce organic tea and encouraged them to continue. All our organic tea has JAS certificate.
You can not know the quality of tea just by its origin or by appearance. So count on us for the best quality!
