With our single mined pursuit of producing the best teas in the land we have obtained the HACCP (Hazard Analysis at Critical Control Points) certification which guarantees that the tea you have brought is free of health hazards and conforms to international health and sanitary standards.

In addition, the 5S Japanese Management technique and quality assurance is a key aspect when it comes to our production process. Applying this system to the functions of classification, organization, systematic cleaning, standardization and discipline has helped us in significantly enhancing the quality of our teas.
