Our Australian Partner
Green Tea Estate
ITO EN Australia 是日本最大的绿茶产品生产商 ITO EN Japan 的子公司。自1993年以来，我们与当地农民合作建立了超过50公顷的茶树种植园，供应国内和出口市场。我们利用当地种植的澳大利亚茶，生产采用日本技术、专业知识和技术制成的高品质散叶茶。我们提供各种散叶茶、袋泡茶和即饮瓶装茶的零售和批发服务。
这一切始于 1993 年的维多利亚
ITO EN Australia Pty Ltd 是日本最大的绿茶制造商 ITO EN, LTD 100% 拥有的子公司。 1993年，维多利亚州政府邀请ITO EN, LTD开始在澳大利亚种植日本绿茶。自2018年10月起，伊藤园的旗舰品牌Oi Ocha绿茶，采用100%澳大利亚种植的绿茶配制而成，为当地消费者带来更健康的生活方式、安心的生活以及日本文化带来的快乐。 2019年，在维多利亚州东北部旺加拉塔的鲜叶加工厂旁边开始筹建精炼和茶叶袋装设施，并于2019年10月开始施工，第一条加工线于2020年3月启动。该设施的竣工使垂直整合生产系统中的最后一个环节，从茶叶种植到最终茶包产品。这也标志着伊藤EN在日本以外的第一条垂直一体化生产线又向前迈出了一大步。
Finding our Australian tea farm
Mr Kunitaro Nakamura from Kunitaro Limited Japan opened their research and processing facility at Mangrove Mountain with the objective of creating and manufacturing a very high quality organically grown and chemical free standard of Japanese green tea in partnership with the Department of Primary Industries.
Together they found the land, the right latitude, right temperature and soil conditions and he set up the farm and factory with authentic Japanese equipment, processes and methodologies.
Central Coast DPI director Dr Richard Sheldrake praising the long association with Kunitaro said:
“An industry that is a thousand years old in the land of the rising sun has become a successful sunrise industry on the Central Coast of New South Wales”.
Mr Kunitaro Nakamura said that
“Green tea grows very well on the Central Coast and the quality produced at Mangrove Mountain is to the very high standard required for export and acceptance for shipment to Japan.”
Building Our Tea Farm
The tea farmer, just like an architect, must fully understand and plan for a long term quality product. He very carefully choses his site to lay a home foundation for the long term health of his chosen tea plants.
The Japanese green tea farmers employed by GTE have been employed in Japan for 45 years doing just that.
They have been building our organic run farm at Mangrove Mountain for over 20 years now.
The very exclusive high quality green tea grown and processed in our factory at Mangrove Mountain Australia always has been sent to Japan for consumption on their Japanese market.
Now we can make some of the Matcha, Sencha and other products available for Australians and others.
