Wazuka tea and Echizen washi paper, it is a product that never ends.
The light hidden in WE, also lives in our minds.

STORY
After seeing discarded leaves on a day, all of a sudden I saw a small path.
Creation begins by imagining something new ahead of us.
GREEN TEA WASHI!
How can WE emphasise this circulation even more?
Instead of returning used tea leaves to soil I gave them new meaning, new form.
And my action helps the Earth.
From mountain to mountain using both hands, Wazuka tea met Echizen washi paper,
those moments I will never forget.
I manage to create a new gift to someone.
Using our tradition to arrive in future.
A step towards the new Millenium.
This is the start of WE.
SUSTAINABILITY
Being sustainable,
connecting the daily life and the life of the tea gardens.
I believe in the energy that lives here and now.
I want to tell the whole world about hidden treasures of my home.
The serendipity that can be seen by connecting the two, brought me a small gift.
Natural, uncertain things, which do not belong into package can bring you a pleasant, wonderful surprise.
For me, giving back to Earth in such unexpected way is a reward beyond measure.
It's become a tradition for us, WE.
Tea leaves that can have new life, instead going back to soil, let be that a start for you to think about importance of nature.
