Based in Kagoshima, Japan, Birouen Tea House (美老園 in Japanese characters) has served Japanese green tea more than 130 years. Birouen means "age gracefully" and our Tea House has aged together with local people and Japanese tea. Since 1881, our family-owned tea company has been sourcing and growing the highest grade organic green tea matcha in the pristine mountains of Kagoshima Prefecture at the southernmost tip of Japan. We hope our teas bring a smile to you and your family, with every sip.
