So that you know exactly who you are buying from...

O-Cha.com was founded in 1998, when the internet was relatively young and finding a really good Japanese green tea either online or outside of Japan nearly impossible. For the first five years, O-Cha.com operated out of Mesa, AZ while company founder Kevin Moore was busy majoring in a degree in the Japanese language at Arizona State University.

From it's inception, the O-Cha.com philosophy has been, and continues to be, our insistence on offering only the freshest, highest quality and grades of green teas available to those outside of Japan. Even when we were located in Arizona, unlike the vast majority of locally available green teas, all O-Cha.com green teas were air freighted directly to us from the grower in Japan.

Since 2004, O-Cha.com has operated and ships directly to it's customers from Japan. O-Cha.com is a fully incorporated Japanese company with Japanese staff. Our green teas are packaged within a very short time frame (days) of any customer's order, offering the freshest green tea one can purchase online.

O-Cha.com always keeps low, constantly moving inventories.

All of the green tea sold by O-Cha.com are personally selected by O-Cha.com's founder who often visits the tea growing regions of Japan. We also receive samples from various companies on an almost daily basis and are always on the prowl for a great or unusual green tea.

O-Cha.com is the first and only company to offer green tea online from Tsuen Tea, Japan's oldest tea shop located at the same spot on the banks of the Uji river for over 845 years.

O-Cha.com sells various grades of green tea, each superior in it's category. While most of our products come from the first harvest, O-Cha.com also offers "Daily Sencha", a better than average second harvest green tea. This is offered as in economical introduction to green tea for the beginner that is much better than most green teas sold in most stores and online .

O-Cha.com is a member of the "World Green Tea Association"
