Message from Mr. Harima
In the summer of 1972, I fainted with phytotoxicity during the pesticide spraying in my own tea plantations. After that incident, we decided to convert our concept to organic farming that "somehow try to cultivate tea while being pesticide-free”.
Immediately after the change, our harvest was drastically reduced and we went through difficult times. We have gone through trials and errors for “creating something safe and healthy for consumers as well as producers”, and it took a while for the tea trees to become stronger and to produce a steady harvest each year.
With organic farming, a great effort is spent on weeding. We are very happy to know our consumers support the safety of our tea.
We would like to continue creating tasty and safe tea for everyone to enjoy.
