Legacy in
Every Leaf.
From the volcanic soil of Shizuoka to the American palate. Sasaki Seicha brings a century of vertically integrated tea mastery to the USA.
“Make the best tea in Japan; Be of service; Be a great company.”
Founded in 1921 in Kakegawa, Shizuoka, Sasaki Seicha has spent over a century refining deep-steamed fukamushi sencha. Four generations of craft, 34 cumulative National Tea Exhibition honors, and one singular commitment: tea that speaks for itself.
Fully Integrated.
Uncompromisingly Pure.
Unlike merchant brokers, we oversee every breath of the tea's journey. We cultivate, harvest, process, refine, and export. This closed-loop model ensures that the ceremonial-grade quality we promise is exactly what lands in your cup.
Cultivation
Cooperative farmers and owned estates in Kakegawa, using Chagusaba grass-farming methods recognized as a World Agricultural Heritage.
Refinement
State-of-the-art steam, drying, and finishing facilities in the heart of Shizuoka, producing matcha, sencha, hojicha, and black tea.
Distribution
Direct from our Japanese facilities to Sasaki Seicha USA, keeping supply chains short, traceable, and fresh.
Every leaf is sorted by hand before it earns a place in the lot.
The people behind the leaf
From the fields of Kakegawa to the refining line, the packing room, and the tea house — every step is carried out by our own team.

Our History
Five generations from a single 1921 farm to a vertically integrated group — built on making tea together with growers.
The Craft
From soil preparation to shipment — eight stages across 110 hectares of tea gardens and 30 veteran farms, all within a short drive of the factory.
Quality & Safety
Triple-check manufacturing, three-tier lot traceability, and awards judged outside our own walls.
“We do not buy tea. We grow it, steam it, refine it, and stand behind every lot that leaves Kakegawa.”
Five generations of our family have worked these fields alongside the growers of Shizuoka. That relationship — not a supply contract — is what lets us guarantee the character of each harvest, from the first flush in May to the cup poured half a world away.
Sasaki Seicha USA exists to bring that same integrity to North American partners: the same farms, the same factories, the same standards — with people on the ground here to work with you.
