Welcome to Lotus Island Tea Farms!

Tea Leaves

Do you know where the green tea you are drinking comes from, and how fresh it is?

Hello, I am Kazuko, the owner and operator of Lotus Island Tea Farms. Drinking fresh green tea is an integral part of Japanese heritage and daily life. Because I was raised in Shizuoka, one of the tea capitals of Japan, I grew up drinking only the very best green tea.

Recently, overseas demand for green tea has grown. Unfortunately, most green teas on the market outside of Japan are not grown organically. They are often old and oxidized, significantly reducing their health benefits. These mass-produced teas are imported in bulk from a variety of unspecified farmers, stored in warehouses for long periods of time, and repackaged before shipping.

Lotus Island Tea Farms represents Kazuki Family Tea Farm, one of the pioneer organic tea farmers since the 1970’s. Through this partnership, we guarantee our tea is delicious, fresh, rich in nutrients, and most importantly, safe. We are honored to bring Kazuki’s teas to you. Enjoy!

Concerns after 2011 Tsunami

Tsunami

At Lotus Island Tea Farms, our passion is to offer the safest and the very best organic green teas to our customers. We are aware of your concerns about the safety of Japanese green tea since the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March of 2011. Since that time, we have been in regular contact with our tea farmers.

All Japanese tea farmers are required to have their food products tested since the disaster. Without having their products certified by the regulatory organizations, farmers are prohibited from exporting their products.

The only way the farmers are able to export their teas to us is when their product is within the acceptable limits of regulatory organizations.

Our teas come from trusted family-owned farms, while many big companies import from multiple sources which may be difficult to track. You know exactly what you are drinking with Lotus Island. If you would like to see the certificates, please click here.
