Kagoshima Seicha (鹿児島製茶)

Founded in 1881 as a tea shop named Birouen in Miyazaki, they moved to Kagoshima in 1883 and before splitting off their wholesale side as Kagoshima Seicha in 1947. Since then they have expanded their capacity, adding new processing and storage facilities.

Today, Kagoshima Seicha is run by Mori Hiroyuki and employs a 10-dan chashi (the highest rank) to procure the finest teas that Kagoshima has to offer
