History of KIMIKURA Tea

KIMIKURA Tea traces its roots to the fertile tea fields of Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture, where Japanese tea culture has flourished for generations. The company’s foundation story begins with Tsujimatsu Maruyama, who started as a tea merchant in a neighboring town before establishing what would become a cornerstone of Japanese tea excellence.

The brand’s heritage connects to an agricultural cooperative established in 1891, demonstrating over a century of commitment to tea cultivation in the region. Maruyama Tea Products Co. was formally established in 1933, marking the beginning of nearly nine decades of dedicated tea craftsmanship that continues today.

The name KIMIKURA” translates to a treasure house where precious and beautiful things gather, perfectly embodying the brand’s philosophy of convergence between nature’s essence, human creativity, and artisanal techniques. This concept is beautifully represented through the brand’s three motifs—wind, village, and budding sprout—expressed in traditional calligraphy by Kasetsu.

Kakegawa City specializes in fukamushicha (deep steamed tea), and KIMIKURA has become synonymous with this regional specialty while expanding into premium matcha offerings. The company’s Tea Masters serve as custodians of quality, meticulously refining “Aracha” (crude tea) through careful roasting and blending processes that preserve the vibrant green color and exceptional flavor profiles.

Today, KIMIKURA operates multiple locations including flagship stores, cafes, and specialty outlets across Kakegawa City, Shizuoka City, and Haneda Airport Garden. The brand has successfully delivered fresh tea to over 500,000 customers throughout Japan via factory stores and mail orders, establishing itself as a trusted name in premium Japanese tea.
