We were founded by the Honjo family in Japan 1966, and, are today global leaders in green tea and healthy beverages. We created the very first ready-to-drink unsweetened green tea-Oi-cha, Japan's #1 best selling green tea and have an extensive line of award-winning teas that embodied our five guiding principles of natural, healthy, safe, well-designed, and delicious.

Our North America offices were launched in 2002, to cultivate an authentic green tea culture in the U.S. with an ongoing commitment to innovation and tea education.
