Kyujiro Koyama began cultivating tea here in the Genroku era (1688-1704). After four generations, they began selling tea, and by the eighth generation, they expanded their market nationwide. Later, their tea became beloved worldwide. Even now, 300 years after its establishment, they continue to produce tea with a focus on flavor and safety, with their corporate motto "Making Teas with Quality as the Highest Priority." Everything from cultivation to production is done in-house, and in order to continually improve the quality of their teas, they're also very involved in entering tea competitions. As a result, they have repeatedly received the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award. This is a testament to their outstanding work.
Marukyu Koyamaen's wide lineup includes matcha (powdered green tea), sencha (one of the most commonly drunk Japanese teas), and gyokuro (premium green tea), as well as matcha-flavored sweets, beverages, and more.
