Throughout AOI’s 100-year history, an emphasis has been placed on producing matcha green tea using traditional authentic practices, while incorporating new technologies to produce products such as Super Fine Matcha. AOI’s product-first mentality is highlighted by the wide-range of customers they supply, from major world-class companies, to boutique tea shops that choose their products each and every day.
