WHY SHIZUKESA?
 

Shizukesa was created to bring genuinely organic Japanese tea to everyday life — without shortcuts, exaggerated claims, or unnecessary processing.

We work directly with small, certified organic tea producers in Japan, primarily in Kagoshima, selecting each tea based on what the producer does best. Rather than forcing all products into a single-farm narrative, we believe in honest sourcing: matching the right producer, region, and processing method to each specific tea style.

All our teas are:

• Made from certified organic tea leaves

• Grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers

• Carefully processed in Japan to preserve natural flavor and nutrients

Because different teas require different expertise, our matcha and roasted teas may come from different farms or tea companies, each chosen for their strengths. This allows us to offer a wider range of high-quality teas while staying true to transparency and integrity.

​

At Shizukesa, quality is not just about grade — it’s about knowing where your tea comes from, how it is made, and why it tastes the way it does.

WHAT IS AN ORGANIC CERTIFIED TEA FARM?

​

To qualify for organic certification, tea farms must comply with stringent standards. Land intended for organic cultivation must remain free from synthetic chemicals—such as pesticides and artificial fertilizers—for a minimum of three years before certification is granted. Once certified, all farming practices must continue to follow organic regulations.​​​​​​
