About
Once a year, I return to Japan and buy enough tea to last until my next visit.
However, if the next visit is delayed, I sometimes run out of tea.
"I want to live a life surrounded by plenty of tea without worrying about running out"
I began to think, ”If I start a tea-selling business, I will never run out of tea!"
The motivation behind starting Wa-Cha Honpo was to satisfy my own desire while also
sharing of delicious Japanese tea with the people in my beloved Australia.
Love the moment with every sip of tea and
’Ah, delicious,’
comes a heartwarming happiness

01
Very best tea from Japan and Australia
The harvest of tea leaves in Japan starts as early as March, and the first trade of new tea leaves begins in early April.
We exclusively sell tea from the current year, ensuring freshness and flavour. We strive to source at the highest quality and sell at the most reasonable prices (a difficult challenge in Australia), believing that our dedication to our customers and our partners at the origin will drive the success of our tea business.

Whether you are a seasoned tea enthusiast or a curious newcomer, our guide will open doors to a world where every sip tells a story. From the shaded hillsides where delicate leaves are nurtured to the serene tearooms where time seems to stand still, the world of Japanese tea is a tapestry woven with history, culture, and the simple elegance of a cup of tea.
Join us as we traverse the lesser-known paths of Japan's tea culture, and let the subtle complexities of each brew transport you to a realm where the beauty of tea is as boundless as the landscapes that inspire it.

Hoping that this small company can contribute to the prosperity of the Japanese tea industry
In Japan, the number of tea farmers is declining each year, and the aging population in this industry is progressing at pace. The cultivation area is gradually decreasing, and green tea (leaf tea, the type of tea brewed from tea leaves) is also experiencing a slow decline.(Reported by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in their publication 'Tea Trends.')
Faced with a less optimistic future, we would be delighted if, even in a small way, we could contribute to revitalizing the Japanese tea industry.
