About Japanese tea

About Koga Seicha

Nestled in the misty mountains of Oku-Yame, at an elevation of 200–300 meters, the tea fields of Yame are renowned for producing Japan's highest quality Gyokuro green tea. The region's unique climate—with morning cools and evenings—creates ideal conditions for cultivating flavorful, aromatic tea leaves.

Koga Seicha continues the tradition of harvesting only the consistently first and second flush teas, leaving the third flush untouched. This selective method enhances both flavor and fragrance. Their Yame tea receives top honors at national tea competitions across Japan.

Craftsmanship That Elevates Flavor and Aroma

At Koga Seicha, seasoned artisans roast tea leaves daily in their own factory. While upholding their 200-year legacy, they also employ modern equipment to optimize quality and efficiency. This blend of time-honored technique and innovation ensures a tea experience rich in umami and aroma—true to the soul of Japanese tea culture.
