About 1200 years ago in Japan, green tea was highly valued and treasured as precious medicine. With the advent of new harvesting and processing techniques, it soon became the country's most popular beverage. Today, Japanese green tea's health benefits are widely known not only in Japan, but around the world.
Tea leaves and Matcha grown in Uji, Kyoto have played an important role in building traditional Japanese tea culture. Japanese tea culture sustained by Uji tea made an enormous impact on Japanese architectural style, habits, costume and cuisine, porcelain, lacquer, painting, and literature.
We, at Japanese Green Tea Hibiki-an, provide you with genuine Japanese green tea in convenient styles and prices for your every need.
Updated on June 1 '08: At last, almost of our most popular regular Sencha items have been already replaced by new crop harvested in this May.

Updated on May 7 '08: At last, the Shincha (the first tea of the year) Harvest started just a few days ago here in the Uji region! It is almost same timing with last year, and everything is moving along right on schedule. At the same time, some of our "Shincha items" are now available. We have arranged to add three limited edition Shincha items only available this Shincha harvest season, featuring some regular Sencha items with especially enjoyable Shincha flavor. And other Sencha regular items are planned to be replaced later by Shincha step by step. Celebrate our first tea harvest of the year with Hibiki-an's Shincha and enjoy the remarkable fresh flavor which can only be experienced once every year!
Updated on February 6 '08: We added "Houjicha Karigane" which flavor is unique and excellent. In contrast to the refreshing and roasted flavor of regular Houjicha, our Houjicha Karigane has a deeply sweet and roasted flavor, which is quite unique among any kinds of Japanese tea. The sweet flavor is brought by Teanin which is a constituent contained in Karigane and known for having a sweet and flavorful taste and working to relax the brain and body.
