Adopt a tea tree

The Story

Currently, less than 2% of tea produced in Japan is farmed organically. Aside from requiring a higher amount of investment and time, one challenge we continue to tackle is not just producing organic tea — but organic tea that is truly delicious.

Every year, we plant new seedlings to expand our organic tea farm.

  • 2022: Adopted new cultivars Komakage 駒影 and Houshun 鳳春
  • 2023: Adopted new cultivars Yumewakaba 夢若葉 and Ujihikari 宇治光
  • 2024: Adopted new cultivar Tenmyo 展茗 — 1000 new trees planted

Thank you for your continued support — we look forward to having you on board again this year!

Adoption Process

Organic tea fields in Wazuka Farmers planting seedlings

Since 2020, all of our adopters have received a personalised 絵馬 (ema, or wooden plaque) painted with their names and hung at Hakusan Shrine in Yubune, Wazuka-cho, Kyoto. Continuing this tradition, each adopter for 2025 will also receive a personalised ema. Hanging an ema at the shrine is said to bring its owner good luck and good health.

In addition to adopting (in name) one of d:matcha's organically grown tea trees from Wazuka Town, you will also receive 6 bags of our Sencha: Sencha Yabukita (year 2024 & 2025), Sencha Okumidori (year 2024 & 2025), and Sencha Gokou (year 2024 & 2025)
