At HISHIDAI, all loose-leaf teas go through a quality control process supervised by our Tea Meisters. Becoming a Tea Meister takes years of practice and an extraordinary sense of taste and smell—a Meister is as much an artist as a QC manufacturing expert. The honor of Green Tea Meister is granted only to individuals of proven connoisseurship.
By sniffing out subtle nuances in aroma in crude teas of different harvests, the Tea Meisters ensure that every finished HISHIDAI product is delicately flavored and consistent.
Including private label products, HISHIDAI delivers over 3,000 items every year to Japanese tea merchants. Our broad line of products includes bulk and packaged loose-leaf tea, green tea powder and extract, tea bags, and ready-to-drink bottled tea. Whatever markets you serve and whichever green tea products you’re looking for, HISHIDAI can meet your merchandising needs quickly, efficiently and at a competitive cost.
Historians know that green tea has been enjoyed for more than a thousand years. Throuout its long history, green tea has always been associated with good health.
In recent years, scientific research has revealed that green tea delivers an array of health benefits, and the good news has attracted the interest of many health-conscious consumers in Europe and North America. However, for people in countries where tea bags have become the norm, brewing loose-leaf Japanese green tea with hot water may seem cumbersome.
HISHIDAI’s R&D team has explored ways to it make it easier and more convenient for people to enjoy the full benefits of green tea. “Green Tea Power,” chatechin-enriched green tea extract, is the fruit of a collaborative research project with Dr. Itaro Oguni at Hamamatsu University. Another recent success has been “Shake ‘n Fresh,” a powder-based, non-pre-brewed, ready-to-drink bottled tea.
We believe you’ll find that HISHIDAI’s unique products have the power to convert the uninitiated into green-tea lovers, bringing you a stream of new loyal customers.
