About The Company
About Kibiki-An
Hibiki-an is surrounded by the rolling hills of Uji, in Kyoto, where the Japanese tradition of green tea began over 1,000 years ago. Today, in Japan, when people think of high quality green tea, they think of Uji. You can sample the wide variety of delicious green teas that are available at specialty shops and restaurants in the area.
In the past, it was nearly impossible to distribute fresh green tea outside Japan, because it was more difficult to preserve than black tea or Chinese green tea. Now, you can experience the taste and health benefits of fresh Japanese green tea anywhere in the world!
All of their teas are grown, harvested and packaged right here on their family tea farm in Uji. Through meticulous quality control procedures, the company has made it possible for international customers to receive fresh green tea in excellent condition.
They named the site “Japanese Green Tea Hibiki-an” in wishing that Japanese tea culture will gain more popularity throughout the world. “Hibiki” in Japanese means “touching someone’s heart.” It brings a great happiness to know that Japanese tea culture can touch people’s hearts around the world.
