Organic Green Tea since 1992

KEIKO Teas are grown in the Chiran region of the Kagoshima prefecture in the very south of Japan. In 1992 the company-owned KEIKO Biofarm was the first teagarden in Japan to be converted to organic cultivation according to the EC organic standards. All KEIKO teas are free of GMO and pesticides and are produced under fair and sustainable conditions.

Today KEIKO offers a wide range of japanese Green Teas from the KEIKO Biofarm as well as from long standing cooperations with organic contract-farmers in the region. From the beginning KEIKO's specialty was Kabusecha - the tea that enchanted Markus Hastenpflug, CEO and founder of KEIKO, from the very first cup and convinced him to introduce this product to the german market. Kabusecha Tea is covered with shading-nets before the harvest and treated to a special steaming process to enhance the quality. These cultivation- and processing-methods not only ensure a very high nutrient density in the tea, but also improve the aroma and the taste while giving it a specially high yeald of up to 4 infusions for the top-qualities. The deep green colour typical for Kabusecha still draws surprised looks from visitors during presentations in fairs or tea-seminars - KEIKO The Colour of Green Tea!
