Shizuoka is synonymous with the majesty of Mount Fuji and its legacy as japanese premier tea-growing heartland. Every spring, the landscape is transformed by vibrant new shoots that paint the fields in brilliant hues of green. These are harvested as Ichibancha (first flush tea) celebrated for being exceptionally rich in minerals and deep, savory umami.

For fifty years, Ichikawaen has been dedicated to the singular pursuit of crafting the perfect cup of tea. Long before the digital age, we chose to connect directly with our customers through traditional catalog sales, driven by a desire to reach those who truly value authenticity. This personal approach has allowed us to build a foundation of trust with tea lovers across all of Japan.

Our tea has been refined and perfected through decades of feedback from our discerning domestic market. We are now confident that this quality will resonate with a global audience. All of us at Ichikawaen look forward to the privilege of sharing our tea with you.

Warm regards,

Shintaro Ichikawa
