A Japanese Tea Company in Kumamoto, Japan

Sanrokuen has worked with Japanese tea since 1975. Based in Kumamoto, Kyushu, we select tea by origin, farmer, cultivar, harvest and intended use, and we use sensory evaluation, component analysis and in-house processing to explain why one tea is suited to drinking, another to latte use, and another to food manufacturing.

Matcha Processing Guide

Tencha, simplified tencha and green tea powder: what is the difference?

Japanese processing categories explain how a tea was made—not automatically which tea tastes better. Our honest guide separates traditional tencha, unrolled simplified tencha and rolled green tea powders, while explaining why fresh-leaf quality, culture, cost and final use must be considered separately.

Japanese Matcha from Japan

Japanese matcha with a clear origin, cultivar, harvest and purpose.

Sanrokuen's matcha is Japanese matcha made from tencha. Our main retail collection is produced from Kumamoto-grown tea, where we work with farmers and evaluate individual lots by actual taste, color, component data and final use—not by origin name alone.

The Kumamoto Denshou Matcha collection includes Hatsugami no Shiro, Kikuchi Enju, Kikuchi Enju Premium and Hirakawa no Mukashi. Together they cover first-harvest drinking matcha, latte-friendly matcha, selected premium lots and organic Japanese matcha.

How our matcha begins

We build matcha from the field—not only from the market.

Sanrokuen selects the farmer, discusses cultivar and quality targets before harvest, guarantees purchase of the commissioned volume, and evaluates each lot through components, color and sensory review.
