IBUKI Bottled Tea – A New Way to Enjoy Japanese Tea
IBUKI Bottled Tea is a premium liquid tea that brings out the full potential of tea leaves through a special brewing process. You can enjoy the authentic flavor of high-quality tea leaves anytime, anywhere. This is a new “Japanese tea experience” that will make you want to share and discuss the unique flavors with friends and family.
01. Special Brewing Process
IBUKI Bottled Tea is made at our FSSC22000-certified factory, where we pursue the essence of authentic Japanese tea. The tea is meticulously extracted using the “Filtered Cold Brew Method,” which involves non-heated sterilization and precise temperature control down to 0.1°C.
This method maximizes the fragrance and flavor of the tea leaves through fine filtering and careful brewing at temperatures adjusted in 0.1°C increments. By using a three-layer, non-heated filtration process, we preserve the natural freshness and delicate taste of premium tea leaves, allowing you to enjoy the true elegance of Japanese tea.
02. Handpicked Tea Leaves
Our tea leaves are overseen by CEO Yukiya Komatsu, a certified Japanese tea sommelier and recipient of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Award. The tea is a unique blend of high-quality Japanese leaves, specially curated for IBUKI Bottled Tea, offering an unparalleled tea experience.
03. Pure Water
We use water drawn from the nearby Oi River, part of the Southern Alps water system. This water is naturally filtered through rich layers of earth, requiring minimal artificial treatment, and maintaining a high level of purity. At our factory, the water is further softened, creating “ultra-soft water” that perfectly complements the delicate flavors of Japanese tea.

STEP 3: Savor slowly
Wrap your hands around the glass to warm it slightly, releasing more of the tea's aroma.
