The Place · Shizuoka

Tea fields built for volume.

Shizuoka is Japan’s largest tea-producing prefecture. Our partner producers operate mechanised harvest at scale — the foundation of reliable, year-round supply for foodservice and manufacturing partners. Filmed on location in Fukuroi.

I · Matcha Powder

Matcha for Straight Tasting & Premium Beverage Programs

Finely milled matcha powder for professional kitchens, patissiers, and beverage programs. Same house standard as our canister product: first-flush, covered cultivation, tencha only.

House policy · matcha only

Our matcha — every package, every form — is made exclusively from first-flush, shade-grown tencha. We do not blend in autumn harvest, and we do not sell an unshaded “culinary” grade under the matcha name. If it is called matcha and it carries our name, it is described by origin, producer, harvest, cultivation, milling method, and intended use.

Powdered Green Tea — Foodservice Powder

Autumn-harvested tencha, milled for foodservice volume.

Per our house policy, this product is sold as powdered green tea, not as matcha. It is autumn-harvested, unshaded leaf, processed through a tencha kiln and milled to a fine green powder — an honest, transparent format for foodservice and beverage applications where first-flush matcha would be cost-prohibitive.

Tsuyuhikari
Harvest
Autumn harvest, unshaded

II · Hojicha Powder

Hojicha Powder

Roasted-leaf powder for beverage and pastry applications. Base tea is autumn-winter bancha — the appropriate base for hojicha as tradition requires, distinct from our matcha line.

Hojicha Powder

Roasted leaf, low caffeine, warming aromatics.

Origin
Shizuoka Prefecture
Base tea
Autumn / winter bancha — the traditional base for roasted tea
Process
Leaf roasting, followed by grinding into powder
Caffeine

Best for
Hojicha lattes, chocolate pairings, savoury seasoning, dessert infusions
Suited for Café chains, ice-cream & gelato manufacturers, chocolate houses, hotel pastry teams, ready-to-drink beverage brands.
III · Lacto-fermented Tea Leaf

The raw ingredient of our Sparkling Tea bodhi — a lacto-fermented tea leaf developed in partnership with a single Shizuoka producer. Available as raw material for B2B partners in beverage and fermentation product development.

Bodai-Sancha brewed tea liquor
Brewed liquor — amber, wine-like acidity
Bodai-Sancha fermented tea leaf
Fermented leaf — distinct citrus aroma from lactic fermentation
Bodai-Sancha packaging
Packaged for B2B shipment
Origin
Toyosawa district (the Bodai region), Fukuroi City, Shizuoka
