Praying for the people of Japan
Our household is one of many with loved ones in Japan. Our hearts ache as we continue to learn of the scope of the devastation and catastrophic loss of life. We are praying for those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. We will continue to keep the people in Japan in our thoughts as those who are displaced find warmth, food and comfort and as that region rebuilds in the days, months and years to come.

Three Tree Tea Products & Upcoming Harvest Unaffected by Radiation Contamination
As Japan continues to deal with the devastation caused by the massive earthquake, tsunami and subsequent damage to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, concerns have risen among individuals across the globe regarding the contamination of tea products in Japan.
The region affected by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant is far away from the tea fields from which we buy exclusively. The tea fields and production area are located in the Nishio area, roughly 500 kilometers (310 miles) from the damaged Fukushima power plant.
Each prefecture is closely monitoring their own radiation levels. At this point there are no unusual levels of radiation detected in the Nishio area to warrant any radiation testing. Also, our current tea and tencha is from last year’s harvest and is stored in a refrigerated warehouse. In addition, all of our tea is processed and shipped from Nagoya port in the same region.
For the latest information regarding the Fukushima Nuclear issue visit the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) website at www.iaea.org.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to those individuals who lost their lives or loved ones in this unspeakable tragedy.
