Our Story

It all started with a love for Japanese tea and the challenge of finding authentic, high-quality tea outside Japan. The journey began during a year spent living in India, where I worked as a software engineer for HP.
I often traveled to Japan, bringing back treats like Arahataen’s tea, known for its unique sweetness and low astringency. Thanks to its sugarcane-enriched soil, Arahataen’s tea quickly became a favorite among friends. When a friend asked for more tea for their wedding, I tried ordering online but faced frustrating roadblocks with international shipping and payments. After numerous attempts, I made a global call to Arahataen and convinced them to ship the tea. That experience inspired me to share this exceptional tea with others.
Back in the USA, I decided to introduce Arahataen tea to a broader audience. What started as a small venture in 2015 became Japanese Green Tea Co., with a mission to bring premium Japanese teas to the world. Our teas, crafted using the Chagusaba method for enhanced flavor and sustainability, have won multiple Global Tea Championships and earned a loyal following.



Today, we serve customers across the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, Germany, France, and Denmark for free shipping sharing Japan’s rich tea heritage. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or new to Japanese tea, we invite you to experience the exceptional quality of Arahataen tea in every sip. Welcome to Japanese Green Tea Co.!
