Introduction

Specialists in gyokuro tea leaf cultivation and processing, the Kurihara family began in 1922 as a wholesaler. In 1942 the first master decided to move his wholesale business to the Yame region, famed for its Yamecha, and start growing tea himself. His son, Kippei Kurihara is now a respected member of the Yame City legislature, elder son Yuji is a member of the Fukuoka legislature, and son Akio has become an nationally recognized, award winning tea farmer.
