P&T introduces the Sugimoto Tea Company from Shizuoka, Japan — a longstanding partner that produces premium green teas through sustainable growing methods and close collaboration with local farmers, supporting P&T's commitment to sourcing authentic, high-quality teas.
As part of our ongoing dedication to offering exceptional tea quality, P&T works in partnership with the Sugimoto Tea Company. Founded in 1946 in Shizuoka, Sugimoto practises traditional cultivation methods including the Chagusaba technique, recognised by the FAO as an agricultural heritage practice. These approaches bring together tradition and innovation, yielding extraordinary teas that are a guarantee of both quality and authenticity.
A Journey to Shizuoka and the Home of the Sugimoto Tea Company
The Sugimoto Tea Company embodies the preservation of Japanese tea culture through the production of umami-rich, steamed green teas. Its close collaboration with local tea farmers, combined with forward-thinking innovations in tea production, strikes a harmonious balance between time-honoured values and contemporary techniques.
Sustainable growing methods and ideal climatic conditions
In Shizuoka — one of Japan's most celebrated tea-growing regions — Sugimoto employs the Chagusaba tradition to enrich the soil through natural fertilisation, imparting an aromatic, subtly sweet character to the teas. This sustainable method is central to the outstanding quality that Sugimoto consistently achieves.
In the Spotlight: A diverse Range of green tea specialities
The Sugimoto Tea Company offers an impressive variety of green tea specialities, including our roasted Daily Toast and the full-bodied Kabusecha Daikoku. Each of these teas is the result of meticulous processing and the masterful craftsmanship that defines everything Sugimoto does.
A passion for Tea you can truly taste
The Sugimoto Tea Company embodies a deep connection to Japanese tea culture, rooted in authenticity and a spirit of innovation. Its close work with small-scale farmers underlines the importance of sustainable practices in tea production. P&T is proud to offer these exceptional tea specialities from the Shizuoka region.
