由来
ori · jin
n. & adj.
That from which anything originates, or is derived; source of being or existence; starting point.
Our namesake is made to bridge East & West, recognizing Asian-Pacific history, effort, & culture. We work to highlight the farmers & stories that bring health to the world.
Our mission is to connect people with award-winning Japanese heritage farms so that both may benefit from health & success.

As the director of Orijin Matcha, I am dedicated to exploring health & wellness through its many approaches.
While working on farms around the world, I wanted to learn from the patterns that could play a role in our lives: Blue Zones, superfoods, farming practices, and many more. At the time of writing this, I have studied the health benefits of premium green tea for 16 years.
I feel there should be more streamlined efforts to provide "tea transparency" - what are the different types of green teas? What are the red flags? Why does matcha have an older history but it is only now gaining popularity?
This became a path based on seeking answers as both teacher & student.
Orijin Matcha was founded to share this journey.
