Our Founder

Concept

 

The “Kakuhori” brand, derives from the name “Kagoshima Horiguchi Tea”, which is our production department, with the theme of “vast tea fields on the ground like fluffy clouds in the sky”. We started it with the hope that it will be an opportunity for everyone to become more familiar with the single-origin loose-leaf tea made from our tea fields, which we could not meet with existing product lines so far. Focusing on the deep-steamed tea that we have consistently made, we will also challenge new tea varieties that take advantage of the characteristics of the individual cultivar.
