TSUJIRI CHAHO Brand Statement
TSUJIRI was founded in 1860 by Riemon Tsuji who was renowned for his spirit of “YUWA”, meaning
'continue to
innovate and sustain the tradition'. His statue was built in Kyoto, Japan to honor his contribution
to the
Japanese tea industry. Mr. Tsuji has refined the cultivation of Gyokuro (the highest grade of
Japanese green
tea) and his method is still being used to this day. He is also the inventor of the tea box that
preserves the
longevity and freshness of the tea leaves during transportation, making fresh tea from Kyoto
available to other
Japanese cities a century ago. In 2010, CHAHO, which means tea shop in Japanese, was first
established outside
of Japan to carry on our founder's spirit and to serve fresh tea to our customers worldwide.Welcome
to TSUJIRI
CHAHO.
