Profile

Izumi Shimizu / Company President

I was born as the second son of a tea farmer's family in Uji Tawara-cho, Kyoto, which has 200 years of history. I grew up watching and helping in the tea cultivation and production. In my thirties I started focusing on a mail-order business that had been continued since 1955, and then established the Kiyosen Co. Ltd. when we were officially accredited as tea appraisers in 1997.

Taking advantage of living in a tea farming town and practicing the strictest day to day quality control, we provide Ujicha, known as the best Japanese tea, to the world.

I hope you will enjoy our time-honored quality tea, also known as the golden potion for perpetual youth and longevity.
