Our Japanese tea export production area connected from the mythical world
- Gift of *Amaterasu Omikami’s connection –
*A god that appears as the main god in Japanese mythology.
Believing in the unique inspiration I felt at AmanoIwato where she, Amaterasu Omikami, hid.
Mîtécha’s origin place = Mie and the result of seeking a new frontier = Miyazaki
The word "Mi"=”み” is connected like a mythology history.

Mîtécha – Organic Japanese tea garden management policy -
SDGs
Manufacture and processing with machines are subject to "adjustment", but in the management of organic tea gardens, the efforts what we have spent is directly reflected to the results. This is why we never cut corners in our organic tea garden management.
Review and practice of traditional methods that value the wisdom
of our ancestors
Make full use of the gravitational pull of the moon
Take advantage of soil produced by overwhelming natural microbial power
Organically grown Japanese tea gardens managed by Mîtécha and our partners/producers are
linked to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
17 Goals and 169 Targets
*SDGs: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (the 2030 Agenda) is a set of international development goals from 2016 to 2030, which was adopted by

Raw material processing :
Semi-finished tea = Teancha and Aracha processing
The finest organic Tencha produced by the knowledge and experience with processing by manual control
- Non-Fermented tea, Semi-Fermented tea and Post-Fermented tea -
We will spare no effort to improve the facilities to provide Japanese tea according to various fermentation conditions.
Finishing process
Final processing with a stone mill,
which is indispensable for creating a feeling of melting Matcha in the mouth
that cannot be produced with a general crushing machine.
We provide the supreme quality produced by our commitment to Matcha production,
which averages about 50g per hour.
Many of our proud items cannot be produced on a fully automated production line, so the producer’s ability is directly reflected in the quality of our final product.
