Bringing Authentic Japanese Tea to Australia

Hello, and thank you for visiting! My name is Hitomi and I am the founder of Yamaguchien.

I was born and raised in Fukuoka, Japan in a family that has run a long established tea business for generations since 1951.

I started selling Japanese tea and lifestyle goods in Mawson, Canberra in 2003. Today, I continue to share the authentic Japanese tea through online store, proudly serving customers across Canberra and beyond.

From a young age, drinking Sencha daily has been a natural part of my life—it’s what keeps me relaxed, and positive well-being to both body and mind. I truly believe in the power of Japanese tea. Matcha is not just for formal tea ceremonies, it can be enjoyed in everyday life, in many creative ways. 

Over the years, we’ve been deeply grateful for the support of our wonderful customers, and we’re delighted to see so many returning to enjoy our teas. 

Our mission is to bring the authentic rich taste and wellness of Japanese tea to your daily life, wherever you are.

Thank you for choosing us. We look forward to continuing to serve you with care and sincerity.

Hitomi Li, Yamaguchien Australia
