Hands-on Japanese Green Tea Tasting Class With A Certified Green Tea Expert 

Our Story

• Matsu Kaze has been in business since 2011.
• We started this company because we want to share our experience of Japan and Japanese tea culture with our customers. Our approach is to adapt the farm-to-table concept to international importing as we work directly with our suppliers as well as our customers.
• Our tea and teaware suppliers want to know what you as their ultimate customer think of their products and it is important to them that you understand their passion and life’s work.
• Our customers are usually interested in Japan and Japanese tea culture and want to know more about the teas and teaware they are purchasing and those who cultivate and process or create these wonderful products.
• For us building these relationships, connecting these communities and sharing an interest in and passion for these products has become a joyous effort.
• There are always new people to meet and new products to discover.
• We travel to Japan frequently to visit with family, meet with our suppliers, search out new products and explore Japan and Japanese tea culture.
• The traditional Japanese tea ceremony is still very much alive and is being “discovered” by many people throughout the world, but modern Japanese tea culture continues to evolve as well.
• Tea farmers are experimenting with new methods and teas as well as perfecting old ones. Tea cafes are exploring new approaches to making and serving Japanese teas. Restaurants and bars are experimenting with recipes and cocktails.
• Traditional artisans continue crafts that their families have mastered over generations and new artists strive to create contemporary teaware works and utensils.
• It is fascinating to see how this is evolving into an international culture.
