Hiroshi Kobayashi

Hiroshi Kobayashi has a reputation that precedes him—he is one of the only Level 10 Chashi (master tea blender) in all of Japan. He serves as the head of the Shogyokuen tea company, which has been operating in the Kyotanabe area since 1827, and is known for developing some of the most beautiful blended matcha and sencha to come out of the area, and out of the country at large. We are proud to bring his most esteemed teas to Kettl.

An unwavering commitment to quality.
