The world’s best Japanese teahas traditionally been produced in the Uji River Valley near the ancient capital of Kyoto. Hidden high up the valley lies the remote, centuries-old tea plantation of the Nagata family, the source of HAIKU® Organic Japanese Teas. The Nagatas use organic farming and traditional harvesting and processing methods. Each batch of tea must pass a spectroscopic analysis for pesticide residue and heavy metal contamination. It is then quickly packaged to insure its quality, freshness, and flavor.

Every HAIKU teabag is two full grams in size to deliver the richest, most authentic green and twig tea flavor possible in teabag form. All HAIKU teabag paper is made from unbleached natural fibers with individual cellophane wraps on each teabag to seal in freshness and seal out moisture. Our ink is soy-based and our tea boxes are 100% recycled paperboard coated with a water-based varnish.

Compare HAIKU flavor to any of our competitors' products and you'll see what a difference an unrelenting commitment to quality makes.
