Koga Seicha Honpo | Yame Tea from Fukuoka

Koga Seicha Honpo | Over 200 Years of Japanese Yame Tea Craftsmanship

Founded in 1819 during Japan's Edo period, Koga Seicha Honpo (古賀製茶本舗) is a long-established Japanese tea producer based in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture. Across nine generations, the company has preserved its tea-making heritage while combining traditional craftsmanship with modern production techniques to bring out the delicate aromas, natural sweetness and rich umami of Japanese Yame tea.

Located in southern Fukuoka, the Yame region is one of Japan's renowned premium tea-growing areas. Its mountainous landscape and frequent morning and evening mists create favourable conditions for cultivating high-quality tea leaves. Yame tea is celebrated for its gentle sweetness, rich umami and refined aroma, while Yame Gyokuro is particularly recognised as a premium Japanese green tea.

Traditional Tea Craftsmanship and Carefully Selected Leaves

Koga Seicha Honpo places great importance on tea quality and freshness. Experienced tea artisans carefully select tea leaves, which are then roasted and processed at the company's own factory. Attention to temperature, timing and production methods helps bring out the distinctive flavour of each tea. The company continues to invest in modern facilities and quality management while preserving more than two centuries of tea-making expertise.
