KAKUDA TATSUYA
Since 1970, Kakuda Seicha has been producing robust, perfectly balanced sencha that are a perfect reflection of their Okuyame origins. From field to factory, every aspect of the tea cultivation and production process is overseen by the now third-generation Tea Master Kakuda Tatsuya.
They attribute their success to two things: the natural blessings of the Okuyame area, and their quantitative approach to tea cultivation.What Customers say

not sure how to get the best steep
Not a bad tea, but I've struggled to find good steeping parameters. Does tolerate multiple steepings well.
