Our director Kazuhisa was invited to join a business trip to San Francisco, which was organized by city of Ureshino and Jetro (Japan External Trade Organization). It was a very interesting experience. They had a busy week filled with visiting various tea shops and tea rooms in San Francisco.  They had many presentations of Ureshino-cha and had very positive response. Owners of tea shops/tea rooms are all very enthusiastic and passionate about spreading the knowledge and delicious taste of Japanese green tea.
