The July 15, 2026, edition of the Chunichi Shimbun (Shizuoka Prefecture edition, series “New Trends in Shizuoka Tea: Ideas and Growth Strategies for Young Professionals”) featured our flat-rate tea service for businesses, “Office Green Tea.”

Under the headline “Bringing the ‘Living Room’ to the Office,” the article highlights our service, which involves setting up tea stations in the office so that all employees can enjoy authentic Japanese tea at any time.

In workplaces where efficiency and streamlining are the order of the day, the “leisurely moment” created by brewing tea—along with its carefully crafted flavor—fosters casual “chit-chat” among employees. We’ve highlighted the power of tea in this context, drawing on real-life examples from companies that have adopted it.
