In 2020, Japanese Green Tea Co. officially acquired ShizuokaTea.com, KagoshimaTea.com, and Green Team Merchant.
About Green Tea Merchant
Green Tea Merchant has been operating ShizuokaTea.com, KagoshimaTea.com, and is the pioneer of online Japanese tea sales lead and ran by Kent Rhoads since 2000.
Green Tea Merchant was the first company to put Japanese green tea on the internet before anyone else in the industry.
We are very honored to continue his legacy to the new generation.
ShizuokaTea.com carries variety of organic and non-organic high-quality tea from Shizuoka, Japan.
KagoshimaTea.com carries unique lines of high-quality organic and non-organic tea harvested from Kagoshima, Japan.
Since we acquired the business, we have updated KagoshimaTea.com to the latest technology and platform that the audience of Japanese Green Tea Co. is used to. (We have not done so for ShizuokaTea.com yet.)
Green Tea Merchant has been offering large wholesale operations throughout the world since 2020.
How is Tea from ShizuokaTea.com and KagoshimaTea.com?
As you know, we are known for the best quality Japanese green tea, and we do not compromise this for any reason.
We tested all the products and found that the tea from ShizuokaTea.com and KagoshimaTea.com is very high and impressive.
More Variety For You
There are a variety of organic products and lines that we had not carried. We moved forward, mainly thinking that this acquisition will benefit you to choose more variety of high-end products.
You now have access to our award-winning tea and organic and variety tea all over from Japan.
Better Wholesale Operation
The Green Tea Merchant business also carries large wholesale operations.
As you may know, Japanese Green Tea Co.'s wholesale operation was one of the weaker points.
Since we acquired Green Tea Merchant, we learned quite a bit from the 20 years of knowledge, know-how, business relationships, and partnerships.
We can expand our wholesale operation to the next level to serve our clients even better.

Any Changes to Japanese Green Tea Co.?
No. You will be able to continue enjoining all of our quality tea as you have been doing.
At the same time, you have been seeing us continue to try innovations and to serve you better in different ways.
That "spirit of change" will never change. : )
You are the reason we are growing, and we want to provide the best to you.
I cannot thank you enough; thank you so much for loving our tea.
We hope this will bring even more value to you.
With love and gratitude,
Kei Nishida
And the team from Japanese Green Tea Co.
