Kogacha

The exclusive selection of fine teas from the house of Kogacha.

KOGACHA (KOGA TEA) is a leading green tea refiner, considered one of the most successful and traditional companies in Kyushu's tea industry.

KOGACHA was established in 1938 in the town of Setaka-Machi, Yamato-Gun County, Fukuoka Prefecture on Kyushu's third largest southwestern island. The town of Setaka-Machi is located directly in Japan's famous tea-growing area of YAME, which is known for its high-quality teas with special rarity value.

Today, the company is still in family hands in direct lineage to the founder. The predecessor of the current managing director, as a tea house owner and wholesaler, dedicated his entire life to the spread of YAME-TEE. With unwavering passion, his efforts laid the foundation for the spread of YAME TEE and inevitably contributed to raising the profile of YAME GYOKURO and YAME SENCHA TEE in Japan.


In November 2008, KOGA-SHIRACHA-TEE (private brand, in German "Weißer-Tee") won the "Grand Gold Award of the World Green Tea Contest". KOGACHA continued to develop novel products such as YAME-SPARKLING BLACK TEA and bottled YAME-SENCHA TEA. Both teas are served on Japan's prominent luxury train The Seven Stars in Kyushu.

KOGACHA also offers other interesting high quality teas from neighboring prefectures, such as KUMAMOTO-GENMAICHA TEA, HOJICHA TEA BIO or the KIRISHIMA-MATCHA TEA BIO.
