Persimmon leaf tea "persimmon tea"
Persimmon fruit has been eaten in Asian continents such as China and Japan since ancient times, and now it is popular all over the world as "KAKI" due to its deliciousness and high nutritional value.
Persimmons are known for their various uses, for example, "dried persimmons" have been used as a preserved food in winter by drying astringent persimmons to remove astringency. In addition, "persimmon astringent" is a liquid made by fermenting and aging the juice of squeezed blue fruits. It is highly preserved and is still used as a paint and dye.
And persimmon leaves have been drunk in China since ancient times as a herbal medicine. Because it contains vitamin C, a type of polyphenol, and tannins, it has excellent antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and is also known in Japan for its use in Nara Prefecture's local dish "persimmon leaf sushi".
In 1949, our founder began researching persimmon leaf tea, focusing on the various nutritional values, effects, and benefits of persimmon leaves.
"Persimmon tea" was born through trial and error so that the active ingredients can be ingested in an ideal form without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Currently, our persimmon leaves are grown in Tokushima and Kagawa prefectures. Each piece is harvested by hand while checking the quality, and the tea is made at a factory in Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture on the same day. Recently, the need for decaffeinated beverages has also increased.
