Symbiotic heart... (Regarding Fuji City radioactivity test results)

Dear customers of Shunpo Tea Garden

And everyone who loves Japanese tea

Thank you for using our service.



There was news about Ashigara tea in Kanagawa prefecture where our company is located.

All people involved in Japanese tea, such as farmers, teahouses, and specialty stores,

I feel uneasy in my heart.

Our company has production areas in Shizuoka Prefecture, Kikugawa, Kakegawa, and Makinohara.

As a person in the tea business, this news

I hope there are no bad rumors about tea.



This earthquake disaster is not a problem for one region, but a problem for Japan as a whole.

Cherish the spirit of symbiosis that lives together,

Using the product, everyone can live with a strong heart little by little.

Let's act with a spirit of cooperation.

If you think like that, there shouldn't be any rumor damage... I sincerely hope.

Takanori Goto
