Founded Hamada Tea as an individual
When previous owner Masaharu Hamada was 40 years old, he retired from his job of 17 years at the Chiran Agricultural Cooperative Association, and founded Hamada Tea as an individual. Since he didn't have a factory, he rented part of Nishitaru Mizu Chagyou and mixed unrefined tea. Deciding that he would ""Sell only strictly selected domestic (produced in Kagoshima) tea"", Masaharu's attitude and the taste of the tea were rated highly at the largest tea market at the time, Shizuoka Prefecture tea market. As a result, he was recognised as an individual shipper by the Shizuoka tea market, which at the time only allowed for shipping at the prefecture level.
